I think every Army personnel has a millitary record. That is both a reliable and verifiable source.
The idea why we asked for secondary sources was to 'get rid of' articles on insignificant garage bands and such. It is effective in doing that but isn't really helping in the case of army personnel.
I think what we should seek with notability is significance not the availability of secondary sources. I mean if a 4 year old British girl goes missing - we get articles on that. Her going missing although tragic is probably less significant than an average TV episode on Star Trek, a series that has been on the air for 37 years.
Now I am not asking for the deletion of any articles. I just think we need to loosen up on notability based deletion significantly.

How about "everything we can find a reliable source for, except when BLP
is
involved"?
Hits issues with census records that get published. So that would include pretty much everyone who lived in the UK between 1841 and 1901. Then you have the various military records and the like.
