Well, Talk pages are supposed to be discussion of the content of the
article, not discussion of the topic per se. Secondly, I supposed I
was interested in the possibilities for enabling MediaWiki to be used
for smaller communities that do more than just create an encyclopedia
(i.e. record information) but actually debate and discuss things. In
that context, seeing a list of people's personal views on a topic
might be interesting. And personal views can always be potentially
combined into an article (assuming that the view is sufficiently
common, or the person expressing the view is sufficiently important)
in that MediaWiki's universe (which might potentially follow a
different topic focus or POV rules from Wikipedia.)
Cheers

I am curious... why would personal views interest a reader ?
And talk pages already exist for this I think...
