[WikiEN-l] Biography of Living persons

[Scientia Potentia est]

In the end, BLP is not one of our five pillars. The fact that we are an encyclopedia is.

I just want to throw this onlist *before* doing anything on wiki to
see what kind of thoughts are out there.

I would be interested in an extension of the BLP policy to go as far
as, those who explicitly op out, can have their biography removed for
the duration of their life.  This I base on the number of complaints
on site and off site (via our otrs mechanism, for example).  Keep in
mind, the English Wikipedia will be around for ages.   Thoughts?


Best,

Jon-
