a variant of proposed deletion as follows:
It is proposed that this article be deleted as a biography of
a living individual which does not cite its references or
sources.
Based on what I saw when going through some of that
{{unreferenced}}-containing BLP list, the rate of false positives could
be in the range of 90% or so. Having deletion be the default result of
such a tag could result in losing a lot of useful stuff.
Yes, first we need to make sure all false positives and negatives are dealt
with.
And before we go on a deletion rampage, we need to have a massive sourcing
effort to make sure it should be deleted.
The idea would be to give a bureaucracy-free route to
removing
*unsourced* biographies. The unsourced condition
may be the result of
removal of questionable sources for negative statements, that should
not make a difference.
Why not use {{prod}}?
PROD is not for a 14 day period.
