Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron/BLP



In late January 2010, several administrators deleted over 400 unsourced biographies of living people (see the Arbitration Committee case that was filed during the events for further details). Some felt that deleting these pages was acceptable per the WP:BLP policy while others argued that summary deletion ran contrary to WP:CSD guidelines. The Arbitration Committee urged the community to discuss options for sourcing the 50,000 that were tagged as unreferenced so that chaotic deletion could be avoided. Requests for comment/Biographies of living people was opened to let the community decide how to proceed. Discussion there should help decide the fate of 50,000 articles. Your comments are welcome. Below are the articles which were deleted. Your help referencing these articles is very much appreciated.
