Hence the new nutshell for WP:BIO. (Which I wrote *preens* Any other

You mean WP:LIVING, I presume. Cool. One for WP:BIO wouldn't hurt, though.
Precisely because Wikipedia articles about living people can affect the
subject's life, how about we have some sort of "presumption in favour of
non-notability" for living bios? That is, if an AfD offered no consensus, then
it would be deleted, rather than kept as at present.
