While working with OTRS, I actually sent several articles through AfD. And I

follow: encourage OTRS respondents to send the marginally notable through
the normal AfD process (like any other) and allow those in the community
more equipped to deal with deletion/BLP issues handle it.
This assumes that both of those groups are the same. Many people
involved in the deletion processes are rather unconcerned with BLP
issues (or things like sourcing and NPOV, as long as its notable), and
many people concerned about BLPs don't involve themselves in the
deletion process.

Those that involve themselves in BLP matters should perhaps frequent
AFD more often. Provided that is still how we delete articles that aren't
speedyable.
