Some people won't be satisfied until
Wikipedia has no BLPs.
No true Strawman will be satisfied until authority reassures him
Wikipedia has no BLPs.
Doc Glasgow/Scott MacDonald's position is actually not that far off. Quote:
Wikipedia simply has to admit it cannot maintain BLPs
unless they are in the "highly notable" category.
What they should do is:
1) Ban the creation of new BLPs. It is highly unlikely that anyone currently without an
article is going to be notable enough to be maintained. Any exceptions can be created only
after discusion on "BLPs for creation".
2) Delete all unreferenced BLPs - or BLPs referenced only to own website or IMDB etc
3) Delete any BLP where there is not an overwhelming consensus that it is notable. (Afd
default to delete)
4) Semi-protect all BLPs who are not "A-list"
5) Delete any BLP if a violation of the BLP policy is allowed to stand for over 24 hours
- it is obviously unmaintainable.
6) Flag all remaining BLPs.
