I started a discussion at [[WT:BLP]] on the proposal that we implement a variant of proposed deletion as follows:
It is proposed that this article be deleted as a biography of a living individual which does not cite its references or sources.
Based on what I saw when going through some of that {{unreferenced}}-containing BLP list, the rate of false positives could be in the range of 90% or so. Having deletion be the default result of such a tag could result in losing a lot of useful stuff.
Yes, first we need to make sure all false positives and negatives are dealt with. And before we go on a deletion rampage, we need to have a massive sourcing effort to make sure it should be deleted.
The idea would be to give a bureaucracy-free route to removing
*unsourced* biographies. The unsourced condition may be the result of removal of questionable sources for negative statements, that should not make a difference.
Why not use {{prod}}?
PROD is not for a 14 day period.
