Well, there is currently an AfD in progress that is looking a bit like
a train wreck, so some do still split the community. Though the issue
is more BLP than notability (though notability is borderline). I'm
tempted to actually formalise the proposal I've had floating around
for a while (in my head) to say that BLPs and (biographical articles
in general) should require published biographies during the person's
lifetime and/or obituaries after death. Would anyone on this mailing
list be willing to bounce ideas around about that? The sticking point
is what constitutes a 'published biography'?
