With consensus or not the problem is urgent most of all because people with *poor* biography consider the cancellation an insult and would proceed in a legal point of view (I don't understand with which type of motion) (in Italian Wikipedia it's already a daily problem). Surely these people will not stop their activity after the acceptance of their biography and they are a potential source of legal problems connected with defamation or calumny. With consensus or not I hope that WMF, as legal responsible of servers, would proceed at least to awaken the communities to accept more strict rules for biography of living people.
