Will, if your idea of optimal encyclopedic content shifts depends on
whether somebody is being mean to you or your friends, then your
definition is based on your point of view. Ergo, your proposal violates
NPOV.
If you want to keep NPOV, you could try plumping for the removal of
links to all mean people. Or better, all people perceived as mean by
someone.
That would have a bonus: there would be a lot fewer articles to try to
keep up.
