[WikiEN-l] Deletion of unreferenced living person biographies

[Jonathan Hughes]

We already have {{oldprodfull}}, which many add when they remove a PROD tag
already.  If AWB, Twinkle, and the like don't already, it might be worth
having them automagically add it to the talk page when PRODing articles,
just to make sure.  Cheers.
