You mean WP:LIVING, I presume. Cool. One for WP:BIO wouldn't hurt, though.
So it wouldn't :-)
Precisely because Wikipedia articles about living people can affect the subject's life, how about we have some sort of "presumption in favour of non-notability" for living bios? That is, if an AfD offered no consensus, then it would be deleted, rather than kept as at present.
Not sure ... something about that looks like a quick hack that doesn't naturally flow from the content policies. OTOH whether defaulting to keep does is a good question that I'm sure no-one on this list has anything to say about.
