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.
