Enwiki used to have a system where articles about people without images got
a placeholder - "No picture available! Can you donate one?" - but it was
taken down a few years ago, partly due to community dislike of it and
partly due to technical problems.

I believe a number of those technical issues have since been resolved, so
it might be worth thinking about trialling it again on a small scale...
