If a consensus is reached that the information is worthy of inclusion, the information is inserted in the article and the tag is removed. If a consensus is reached that the information should not be in the article, the information is not added and the tag is removed.

This may assist in avoiding edit-warring by making a good faith attempt to achieve consensus before putting a particular piece of information in an article --especially if it's controversial information.
