Really?
What about this proposal?
"In light of such examples, I think it’s high time to start a discussion on whether to amend Wikipedia’s BLP policy as follows: *WP contributors will not start biographies on lesser-known living people without their permission. The project is full of three-sentence stubs on people of minor notability, more often than not started by contributors eager to increase their number of “articles created”.
*If a lesser-known biographical subject wants their WP biography deleted, their request will be honored. The biographical information for this subject will be replaced with a template stating something along the lines of: "We regret that Ms/Mrs/Mr X decided not to have his biography featured on WP. For further information, please consult their website."

I'm also going to post what I proposed at that AfD, but I'll do that in another thread.
