It is increasingly common that non-notable people write to me after they find their own name in Wikipedia via a google search. They are finding, of course, their own AFD entry.
Despite a great deal of adverse comment, certainly on this list, we do seem stuck with AfD as monolithic, unsegmented, and to a large extent the lowest common denominator of behaviour.
How about, first, just making AfD for biographies a separate institution? And secondly, making a policy framework for it? And thirdly enforcing that framework more rigorously than for discussion about - well, minor Star Wars backstory characters or whatever?
