If and when stable versions is implemented, I would

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.
