Well, we wouldn't. But the point is more that people may want to attempt
to get information on the people involved instead of information on the
event itself. Eventualism, etc.

Eh? But if the only thing encyclopedic about the individual is one
incident in their lives that the media has recorded, then we have
nothing else to record than the incident. At best, all we should have at
the individual's name is a redirect to the article on the incident.
Eventualism is not excuse for creating articles for which we have
currently no need. If the individual's life story enters the public
domain then we can 'eventually' have an article.
If we haven't the material for a biography, then we shouldn't have a
biography.
