Template:Prod blp/doc

Template:Prod blp should be used to tag, for proposed deletion, any biography of a living person (BLP) which lacks at least one source directlly supporting at least one statement made in the article about the article's subject; however, it may only be used for BLPs created after 18 March 2010. Editors using this process should be familiar with the Proposed deletion of biographies of living people policy.

Editors are encouraged to search for sources before tagging an article for deletion by this process. The tagger is strongly encouraged to notify the author(s) of each article, using the template. Note that if you use Twinkle to apply this template, notification is done automatically.

If the dated prod blp template is removed from the article, it may be replaced in certain cases. Please refer to the BLP PROD policy for details.
