If and when stable versions is implemented, I would recommend that every single BLP article that has not been approved be "invisible", or in other words impossible to find via Google or by using the standard search box in Wikipedia and ignored by the mirrors. You'd have to go to an advanced Wiki search and intentionally click an "unapproved articles" check box to search for them.
If this is done I think I'll create a mirror consisting solely of such unapproved articles, which is, of course, indexable by Google. Should get me a lot of traffic, at least until others figure out what I'm doing and do the same.
Or, alternatively, just have a gigantic red banner at the top that says "This article is unapproved. Any unsourced piece of information is as likely to be true as random gossip received from a group of twelve year-olds. Read at your own risk. If this article is about you and it contains ridiculous crap, please remove it yourself and request that an approved version be put in place using <insert whatever method of communication is decided upon here>."
Seems more reasonable.
