The "do no harm" thing is already policy in the BLP Tony.

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.
Groovy so delete every article on an election (bound to have a negative portrayal of someone). I rather doubt that le Pen likes our article on the last french presidential election.
I think you're reaching here. "United Kingdom general election, February 1974" is not in category "Living people". It focuses on the events and only mentions the people as participants.
I think it's still running. Generally those articles aren't biographies, however, so I don't really understand the relevance, if any.
They generally contain biographical details such as say alumni or stuff about the head.
Such material would be generally unproblematic and any problems that did crop up could be handled by editing. A bit like the general election article above.
