whether raising the notability bar would improve the
overall quality of BLPs. Do we have other ideas for preventative
measures?
The start of a poor biography is good news coverage of some
incident that occurred to a person, their 15 minutes of fame, or
infamy. Any other information about the person is not available, at
least not from any reliable published source. To avoid this would
require exclusion of biographies regarding persons about whom
information about their life, apart from an incident, is
unavailable.
This would exclude a great deal of pornographic actresses and actors.
Which I don't think is a bad thing, in fact. I'm far from a prude,
but someone who is solely notable for appearing in a few pornographic
films seems to contradict what our policy is regarding other inclusion
categories; and these articles seem to have a higher-than-average
incident of compliant rate, notably when personal information begins
to appear on their articles.
