Editing BLP (section)

== What would a good BLP policy entail? ==

A good BLP policy would have rules along these lines:

# All articles, whether about people or not, whether living or not, should aim to be true at all costs, recognising that, whether they are about an individual person or not, in some ways they can be used to defame and lie about someone in a hurtful way.
# Any people who have an article written about them should have the right to ask to have that article deleted.
# Any people who have an article written about them who do not like something that is written about them should have the right to have aspects about them written in a more positive way.
# Any people who are the subject of an article should have the right to either write the article about themselves or at least to contribute and correct ideas.
# If at all possible, all articles should be written by experts on the subject.
# If there is anything in an article that is proven to be false, it should be removed.
# If any person is the fundamental subject of an article, either as founder and sole owner of a company, or else in unison with the founder and all previous owners of a company, then they shall have the same rights to have the article deleted and changed as if the article was written about themselves as individuals.

There is no need to specify living people, as that shouldn't even be relevant in deciding the truth of things.  So long as people are telling the truth, there shouldn't be any worries about what they say.  It isn't [[libel]] if it is true.
