With respect and appreciation extended toward Apoc2400, it's dubious that
there would be a need for a separate policy to cover this rare situation.
At most, a line or two in existing policy would articulate the matter.

Regarding the recent discussion, I have made a
draft proposal at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:News_suppression
I'd rather cover it using the expectation that editors not be stupid.
That's actually a rule listed on Meta.
“Keeping details out of a Wikipedia article on a living person just
because there aren’t any reliable sources because of a censorious
conspiracy to keep him from getting killed is a slippery slope to the
destruction of the trustworthiness and usefulness of every article in
the encyclopedia,” said administrator WikiFiddler451. “People are
seriously suggesting that our rules should be applied using common
sense and a clue. I just don’t see how that could possibly work. Next
they’ll suggest we ‘assume good faith’ or something.”
