Really?
What about this proposal?
"In light of such examples, I think it’s high time to start a
discussion on whether to amend Wikipedia’s BLP policy as follows:
*WP contributors will not start biographies on lesser-known living
people without their permission. The project is full of three-sentence
stubs on people of minor notability, more often than not started by
contributors eager to increase their number of “articles created”.
*If a lesser-known biographical subject wants their WP biography
deleted, their request will be honored. The biographical information
for this subject will be replaced with a template stating something
along the lines of: "We regret that Ms/Mrs/Mr X decided not to have
his biography featured on WP. For further information, please consult
their website."
That was from User:DracoEssentialis (12:00, 23 March 2012 (UTC)).
I'm also going to post what I proposed at that AfD, but I'll do that
in another thread.
