Fixing AFD would be better than forking it.

Regardless, it would be trivial for a bot to generate a list of
articles belonging to both [[Category:Living people]] and
[[Category:Articles for deletion]], and list them on some prominent
page in project-space like "Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion
sorting/Living people", maybe give it a cute little shortcut such as
WP:BLPFD (/ˈblɪpfʌd/) that would imply a separate process when in fact
it isn't, and add a little note like <small>This debate has been
included in the list of living people-related deletion
discussions"</small>.

Or not?
