Re: [WikiEN-l] Deletion of unreferenced living person biographies

Subject: Re: [WikiEN-l] Deletion of unreferenced living person biographies In theory every article that has been subject to AFD or Prod has a template on the talk page, so an awb list comparison might help winnow out some articles. From there, yes, there will be process wonkery issues, but maybe some sort of wiki page might work out the best practises. Since prods can be undeleted by any admin without any kerfuffle, I can't see the harm in allowing a second bite at prod. Have we discussed amending PROD to allow second bites? Alternatively, is there a way of getting the prod tag onto prodded articles automatically? How about if we had a bot run through and add the template to the talk page of prodded articles? Sort of "This article was PRODDED on the 10 September 2009". That way, if the prod is removed from the article, we have a way of knowing it was once prodded. If the article is deleted, the talk page goes too so no issues there. If we set this up, it would also catch articles which have already been prodded, because even though the prod would get removed from the article since the article had been prodded before, the template would remain on the talk page. The only extra hurdle would be getting admins to restore talk oages when they restore deleted articles, something which really should be best practise anyway.
