That's actually a really good idea.
To expand upon the idea. AFD rules would remain the same for BLPs and non BLPs (notable or not notable) with "no consensus" defaulting to "keep". However, if the subject requests deletion or otherwise starts to make trouble for the project, then his article would go to "BLPs for discussion" Where the article would be deleted (or stubified and protected) unless there is a clean consensus to keep.
One thing that should be discussed in a "BLPFD" would be whether or not the subject is "super notable" (a public figure/celebrity) or just an ordinary "marginally notable" shmoe. Not that we should be doing hatchet jobs on celebrities but many of them get slammed in the tabloids just as bad as they can get slammed here. It goes with the territory of being a celebrity.
