if in doubt, delete? are you kidding me? you can't just have a blanket rule just totally disregards the individual circumstances and merit of individual articles. It's a complete violation of the discussion process that makes Wikipedia what it is.

We should certainly consider changing the deletion process. I'd favor a switch to "default to delete" for biographical articles.
Define "biographical".
Primarily I'm thinking about living biographies. If an article is substantially a description of events in the life of a living person, then we should perhaps consider "if in doubt, delete". We already have a "Living people" category so in most cases it should be easy enough to identify such articles.
See I think depending on the defintion this may be an ah interesting time to reopen the schools debate.
I think it's still running. Generally those articles aren't biographies, however, so I don't really understand the relevance, if any.
