Is it perhaps time, that we started to demand that basic sourcing was a
pre-requisite of creating an article on any living person?
This proposal aims (without causing any deletion spree of backlogs) to
instigate the idea that basic sourcing is necessary for any BLP to
remain on wikipedia. People are given time to source it (and can even do
so retrospectively) - but we set time limits on unreferenced BLPs.
We've currently got 30,000 of these unreferenced things - that needs
sorting (preferably by sourcing rather than deletion) - but stemming the
tide is the first step.
