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.
