If anything the requirements for living people is *higher* than that for dead people, because we fear autobiographies.  Over time, we've progressively "opened up" the rules on  to more people.  Such updates have gone in the "living section", because most new bios are obviously for living.  And it makes it look now, like we're softer on the living.  But this was never the intent.  If somebody is notable alive, they're at least as notable after death
