FWIW, I drafted the version of WP:BLP that first became policy on en:wp :-) Very strong on the basic content rules and putting the new considerations into that context. It's changed considerably in the details since then, of course, but the point still stands: if NPOV requires upsetting an article subject, NPOV wins. - d. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
