Doc Glasgow/Scott MacDonald's position is actually not that far off. Quote:

> Wikipedia simply has to admit it cannot maintain BLPs unless they are in the 
> "highly notable" category.
> What they should do is:
> 1) Ban the creation of new BLPs. It is highly unlikely that anyone currently 
> without an article is going to be notable enough to be maintained. Any 
> exceptions can be created only after discusion on "BLPs for creation".
> 2) Delete all unreferenced BLPs - or BLPs referenced only to own website or 
> IMDB etc
> 3) Delete any BLP where there is not an overwhelming consensus that it is 
> notable. (Afd default to delete)
> 4) Semi-protect all BLPs who are not "A-list"
> 5) Delete any BLP if a violation of the BLP policy is allowed to stand for 
> over 24 hours - it is obviously unmaintainable.
> 6) Flag all remaining BLPs.
