We should certainly consider changing the deletion process. I'd favor a switch to "default to delete" for biographical articles.
Define "biographical".
Primarily I'm thinking about living biographies. If an article is substantially a description of events in the life of a living person, then we should perhaps consider "if in doubt, delete". We already have a "Living people" category so in most cases it should be easy enough to identify such articles.
I think "if in doubt, delete" is a bit too far - "majority rules" would be better IMO, but if we're going to drastically alter deletion standards we should probably consider doing away with the whole concept of letting any idiot who creates an account vote on such a matter.
