I don't see any need for living bios to be singled out. This policy
would be in addition to WP:BLP.
Living bios draw the most complaints, and have the greatest potential
for libel. Why not wait until the situation is stabilized in BLP before
expanding the scope of these activities.
Adding a source-needed tag to an article, deleting it or blanking it are
all very easy tasks that take no research whatsoever. A large number of
such actions can be done in a single hour. Only a fraction of them can
be properly researched and sourced in the same amount of time. Those
who are pushing these extreme measures would be more credible if they
committed themselves to finding sources instead of just putting up tags
and generating work for others to do.
