I removed the tag. It was added in 2009 by a usually reliable editor,
[
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Harry_Kroto&diff=next&old…]1030877],
at a time when the bio had only one indisputably reliable source, the
Nobel biography, and a number of good sources marked as external
links, such as a BBC interview with him, the profiles of him at his
several universities, and a page listing him from the Royal Society .
I consider the addditon of the tag more than a little
hyper-critical, and I'm surprised none of the many who must have seen
it did not take the opportunity to remove it. By now the p. has a
number of additional formal references documenting particular aspects,
but the basic facts are all in the Nobel bio.

Though his article has been tagged since May 2009 with {{BLP sources}}.

I wonder if that is back of the backlog mentioned in other posts, or
an example of over-zealous tagging?
I might try and tidy that article up if no-one else gets there first.
