However, it must have been pretty predictable that a speedy delete would cause controversy, and accusations of abuse of admin powers. If we do have such a practice of removing marginally notable characters at their request, shouldn't we codify that somehow, so as to avoid (or at least reduce) the controversy?
The problem is that we have nowhere near consensus for such a policy. A large number of editors support it, and a large number of editors oppose it. Different specific cases have gone different ways, mostly depending on who showed up to the debate that day.

So, without consensus on the removing (bio's of) marginally notable characters, the speedy delete seems completely unjustifiable.
Does anyone have a clue as to what triggered this action at this particular time?
