just delete articles that consist of a name, date of birth, place

Like what? Name the entries.
Somebody has compiled a list at
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:September_11%2C_2001_Terrorist_Attack/Me…
Bryan's list includes many entries that have more than the above. I see
few with a bland description of how much they loved their kids. In
particular most have links to external references.
And many of those listed have obvious significance, like [[Jeremy
Glick]], [[Neil D. Levin]], and [[Carolyn Beug]]. But I concede that
someone like [[Barbara Keating]] is uninteresting, because she never
worked on a music video.
I was hoping that you would instead be pointing out entries such as
[[Valerie Tschetter]] which is most likely apocryphal, or [[Matthew
Rogan]], which is just a tribute.
There is absolutely no good reason to delete or move most of these
entries. Rather, this is one of the few places where Wikipedia can beat
traditional encyclopedias.
