	I really think Wikipedia would survive having a biography of
living person opt-out for a marginally-notable person. Of course, it's
riskless for me to say that. But objectively, *most* of the objections
to it seem to be pure dogma. Hence the (by now painful) circularity of
argument when this topic comes up - it's driven by many other,
ideological, factors besides the nominal difficulties.
