If we permit opt out, we will have a situation
where we have, for all
medium-level people who are somewhat less than famous, favorable bios
only. There is no possible way to have both NPOV content and
subjects owning the articles on themselves. Whatever way we solve the
difficulties with BLP, it shouldn't be turning us into an publicity
platform.
Correct. Opt-out will violate NPOV.

I think opt-out more than flagged, more than semi, more than anything
else would be fought to the death over by some extremists. But I don't
know if it would violate NPOV. Is an absence a violation?
