Template talk:ProdwarningBLP

Date
Just a note for the record -- The 18 March date was not decided by consensus. That was essentially a placeholder and left in by default. I believe these first started being used about 28 March 2010. Maurreen (talk) 14:31, 31 March 2010 (UTC)


 * IMO the mention of the date is superfluous anyway. Unless of course there is a Wkipedia policy somewhere that  states that such templates should carry  the date when the policy  was decided. I believe the date was simply  mentioned in  a posting as a suggested date  from  which the use of the sticky  PROD should come into  effect - a kinda 'hurry up' hint  to  the developers.--Kudpung (talk) 01:07, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Two errors
Regards, SunCreator (talk) 18:18, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * 'Proposed deletion' wording links to WP:PROD but it's for 'Proposed deletion of biographies of living people' which is WP:BLPPROD
 * This template says 7 days, but WP:BLPPROD and when substed (not the /doc) both says 10 days.


 * Fixed. SlimVirgin  talk  contribs 18:49, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool :) Regards, SunCreator (talk) 20:18, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Self-contradicting
Template generated section title states proposed deletion, but the message body proposes article improvement. The boilerplate should be clarified. What is being requested of the articles' authors? --Bxj (talk) 00:38, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Another error
Does this contain a hidden parameter? When I copy and paste the code from the BLP prod tag onto a user talk page, the final text contains a second objection to the article apart from the BLP issue:

"The nominator also raised the following concern: place reason here".

Can you please switch that off or document how to block it? De728631 (talk) 00:07, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Gives the impression it won't be deleted
This template seems to give the impression that a reference guarantees the article will be retained. Can we put something to the effect that the article may still be deleted for other reasons, such as notability? Siuenti (talk) 16:34, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
