An article about a person (i.e. a biography), should be about their  life.  
That is what biography means.  The story of a life.
Paris Hilton is not "notable" for going to jail, lots of people go to  jail.  
She is notable, and also she went to jail.
Once a person is notable enough to have an article here at all, then we  
should present their biography.
If we wanted to only present, in a person's article, what they are notable  
for, then we shouldn't have an article on the person at all, but rather on the  
incident, mentioning the person with that incident-article.
 
Notability is used to establish whether or not the person gets an  article.  
It doesn't establish what all goes into that article.
