The template {{ANL}} is helpful for this. See detailed administrator instructions. Summation of the Biographies of Living Persons policy: Biographies of living persons (BLPs) must be written conservatively, with regard for the subject's privacy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid paper; it is not our job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives. The possibility of harm to living subjects is one of the important factors to be considered when exercising editorial judgment. This policy applies equally to biographies of living persons and to biographical material about living persons on other pages. The burden of evidence for any edit on Wikipedia, but especially for edits about living persons, rests firmly on the shoulders of the person who adds or restores the material. In persistant cases of abuse, administrator intervention is needed to ensure complete compliance with the policy. You can subscribe to a web feed of this page in either RSS or Atom format.
