Probably not on living bios, but if those who wish to raze much of Wikipedia to the ground in order to save it have their way, this would be better than utter destruction.
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.
