Yes, but that's true for many articles and
isn't a reason not to have
an article . We need to accept the fact that for many people, even
fairly prominent people, we will not have much beyond basic
biographical sketches for the material that is tangential to what
makes them notable.
It's not a matter of "acceptance." See [[WP:BLP1E]]. If someone is
only notable because of one event, then there should be an article about
the event but not a biography that we can't source.
If they're notable for, say, significant contributions to one subject
area, that's different; but there should already be material we could
source from to create a BLP-compliant biography article, and it wouldn't
have been deleted in the first place.
