I think my main objection to this is the current title:
"Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons deserve special sensitivity".
The very title pushes Sympathetic Point Of View, whatever the guideline
content.

I've suggested on the talk page:

1. Change title to [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons]]

2. Start with "Be very hardarsed with references in living persons'
bios" and go from there.

That is: the title should be what the guideline *concerns*. And the
start should be the guideline itself in a sentence.

Then we can work from there. NPOV, NOR, V. Past examples of why we need
this. Don't fall into Sympathetic Point Of View. Etc.

Does this sound workable?
