That seems like a sensible criterion - and there might be potential to
extend that to classes of articles other than BLP.
I've always seen this as a rather horrid criterion. So what does this
mean? Most sportsmen, most television stars, most musicians, many
politicians - gone.
I don't think so, given there is already a consensus on notability for
all of those - see [[WP:BIO]].
