Screamer, you seem to have confused a number of
things. The assertion
of notability requirement for does not apply specifically to
BLPs--it applies to any articles about people or some kinds of groups
or web content that do not assert or indicate some plausible
notability or importance. Meeting it does not provide that the article
be kept, it just provides that it not be speedily deleted as obviously
impossible altogether. It can further be contested by anyone except
the author. It's just a shortcut requirement to get things quickly
deleted that do not warrant a discussion.
What you are probably thinking of is the provision for summary
deletion of BLPs as "Any administrator, acting on their own judgment,
may delete an article that is substantially a biography of a living
person if they believe that it (and every previous version of it)
significantly violates any aspect of the relevant policy. " as enacted

A consensus of DELETE on articles for deletion.
Perhaps you mean, whether or not it means the
requirements that the
community has put into formal guidelines, and whether or not it meets
the idiosyncratic feeling at the time?
No, I mean the clarification above.

David,
And you seem to be confused about my example. I'll clarify, an article
about myself won't at this time meet the a requirement for inclusion,
because at this time, it won't assert any notability. I'm not a notable
person, I've done nothing to make myself notable. There are no sources
about me. This was my very specific example to answer your question.
La boule est dans votre cour.
