Why on earth would we want a record of the incident twice?
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.
