Despite a great deal of adverse comment, certainly on this list, we do seem 
stuck with AfD as monolithic, unsegmented, and to a large extent the lowest 
common denominator of behaviour.

How about, first, just making AfD for biographies a separate institution? 
And secondly, making a policy framework for it?  And thirdly enforcing that 
framework more rigorously than for discussion about - well, minor Star Wars 
backstory characters or whatever?
