if in doubt, delete? are you kidding me? you can't just have a blanket
rule just totally disregards the individual circumstances and merit of
individual articles. It's a complete violation of the discussion process
that makes Wikipedia what it is.

a switch
to "default to delete" for biographical articles.
Define "biographical".
Primarily I'm thinking about living biographies. If an article is
substantially a description of events in the life of a living person,
then we should perhaps consider "if in doubt, delete". We already
have a "Living people" category so in most cases it should be easy
enough to identify such articles.
See I think depending on the defintion this may be an ah interesting
time to reopen the schools debate.
I think it's still running. Generally those articles aren't
biographies, however, so I don't really understand the relevance, if
any.
