Creating lots of stubs with minimal or no sourcing
Who did that? Well there’s a list of some on AN/I - It’s not the end of the world sort of list, but still enough to warrant a reminder. Especially as there are quite of lot of MEP’s...
I understand what you're saying about the construction tags being off-putting to newbies
No you don't; I said no such thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Pigsonthewing&diff=...
Saying SOFIXIT
Who said that? No one; I was heading off a common response to that point. Sorry for being unclear :)
the rules are in place
Feel free to point to any "rules" that you think I broke.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BLP#Proposed_deletion_of_biographies...
As of April 3, 2010, a new proposed deletion process was established, requiring all BLPs created after March 18, 2010, to have at least one source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article, or it can be proposed for deletion.
People are offering reasonable advice in response to this (just as some people are being unpleasant). From my perspective; I’ve had to deal with the cleanup of articles such as this 5 years down the road - so this is not some random out-to-get-you sort of comment. It does make life a LOT easier just to do the work up front :)
What are your thoughts on all this? Do you disagree? Do you have an alternative perspective? Do you have any sort of reflection?
