Agreed. It's making a page to explain this particular aspect of existing policy. My motivation is that when I directed MRM Parrott to "what WP is not" he said that nothing there prevented him having an article.
I don't think that there ''is'' anything on WWIN that: * prevents this article; ''and'' * pertains particularly to biographies. Since the page is long, that might explain why Parrott missed the bits that: * prevent this article for more generic reasons. ^_^
Perhaps he should be pointed to [[Wikipedia:Verifiability]], particularly [[#Obscure topics]]? (This is just ideas on tactics.)
