But PROD is good for this. If you want a systematic sweep, PRODs on 
older completely unreferenced (short) BLPs (of marginal apparent 
notability) would seem to be the least controversial way of handling 
it.  This is done for articles generally, I think, that have been 
unreferenced for three years or so.
