== BLPs on electowiki? ==
Given how difficult and fraught it is for Wikipedia to have biographies of living people (BLPs), I don't think electowiki should have BLPs either. See [[w:WP:BLP]] for English Wikipedia's policy.
I bring this up here because I'm especially reluctant to have a BLP for anyone who has been (at one point) a frequent poster on the [[Election-methods mailing list]], as [[Warren Smith]] has been. To be clear, I don't think we should have pages for [[w:Allan Gibbard|Allan Gibbard]] or [[w:Mark Satterthwaite|Mark Satterthwaite]] either, or for [[w:User:RobLa|Rob Lanphier]] either. Rather, pages about living persons on Electowiki should either be user pages (e.g. [[User:RobLa|Rob Lanphier]]) or stub articles that point to the Wikipedia articles.
Not to single Warren out; the creation of this page was just the catalyst for thinking about this. -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 05:13, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
