I dispute the notion that a subject can possibly deserve an article in one language, but not in another. I thought the mythical goal state was for every "valid topic" to have a corresponding article in every language.
Hmm. "Language" and "Language edition of Wikipedia" are subtly different here. Consider, for example, the Japanese "no non-public living figures" rule...
Well, in practice the rule on .en is in many ways stricter. Daniel Brandt for example is not only a public figure but a willing public figure (although judging from more recent BLP-privacy AfDs, my guess is that an article of someone of about his notability would be kept as of right now).
