I still don't get the idea of minorly notable. I find someone with one lead
role in a musical notable. Some people never heard of the person in question
respond to debates on such a person with "just one role" comments. Without a
set definition this is going to see articles fall prey to personal whims. I
prefer harsher deletion criteria for biographies that are primarily about
one negative event in a person's life. That's where BLP concerns lie. The
obscure but notable people have problems with vandalism to their articles
getting noticed, but they don't run any more risk than others. Before we
flush those bios down the drain and give up on monitoring them, we should at
least try to find an idea to make monitoring better and easier. We can
always try deletion later.
