(Redirected from Template:Blpprod)
This article is about a living person and appears to have no references. All biographies of living people must have at least one source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article. If no reliable references are found and added within a seven-day grace period, this article may be deleted. This is an important policy to help prevent the retention of incorrect material.

Please note that adding reliable sources is all that is required to prevent the scheduled deletion of this article. For help on inserting references, see referencing for beginners or ask at the help desk. Once the article has at least one reliable source, you may remove this tag.

Logo of TwinkleAny breaking changes to this template, including moving it or nominating it for deletion, must be communicated in advance to Twinkle's users and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle. The standard installation of Twinkle relies on this template. Thank you.
This template should always be substituted – use {{subst:Prod blp}}.

Template:Prod blp should be used to tag, for proposed deletion, any biography of a living person (BLP) which lacks at least one source directly supporting at least one statement made in the article about the article's subject. 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 {{ProdwarningBLP}}. Note that if you use Twinkle to apply this template, notification is done automatically.

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

Using these tags will categorise an article under Category:BLP articles proposed for deletion and Category:BLP articles proposed for deletion by days left, in addition to the current day's subcategory of Category:Proposed deletion.

Usage

Place one of the following lines text at the top of the article being proposed for deletion.

{{subst:Prod blp}}
{{subst:Prod blp|concern=place reason here}}
{{subst:Prod blp|concern=place reason here|user=}}

The template must be substituted, i.e. subst: must be used, otherwise an error will appear. When posted correctly, an emphatic 'proposed for deletion' notice will appear at the top of the page.

When saving the page, ensure that the edit summary states that you've proposed deletion. You may also wish to post further information on the article's talk page.

The user parameter is optional, and is used to identify the author of the page (not the user placing the tag).
