Unsourced BLP. WP:BLP applies everywhere on Wikipedia, including in User space. My prod blp template was removed. The Mark of the Beast (talk) 00:11, September 14, 2011


 * Keep This is not an article, it is a work in progress in userspace. The prod was removed for that reason and of course the great big writing at the top of the template "Please use DATED PROD BLP only on articles" The Last Angry Man (talk) 00:14, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * WP:BLP says BLP applies to all material about living persons anywhere on Wikipedia, including talk pages, edit summaries, user pages, images, and categories. It does not apply to the deceased or to corporations, but see below for advice regarding those areas. The Mark of the Beast (talk) 00:15, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * O stop being pedantic, BLP Prod is only to be used on articles, the WIP is a list of movies this person has been in, there is no controversial content in there. The Last Angry Man (talk) 00:18, 14 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep I have added two sources to the draft. Cunard (talk) 00:42, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * And what do those sources do to help write a biography? The Mark of the Beast (talk) 01:00, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * The sources rectify the "unsourced BLP" concern mentioned in your nomination. While I do not see enough to allow Ahna O'Reilly to pass Notability, the draft was created merely yesterday. Further research and the passage of time may reveal more in-depth sources. Cunard (talk) 09:09, 14 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - A draft that seems like it is actively being worked on.  Hi 8 7 8   (Come shout at me!) 01:22, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep Non-controverisaial and now-sourced userspace draft being actively edited, and not in violation of WP:BLP.  Were it unsourced in article space, and/or contained controversial content in any space, then we'd have an issue.  But what we have here is a userspace work-in-progress that was prodded with an article-space template just 17 minutes after being created,.  The author quite correctly removed the article prod with a summary that it was not yet an article, only to have the article-space prod returned, and when the incorrect article-space prod was again removed from draft-space, the draft itself was nominated for deletion 2 minutes later. Editors are encouraged to use userspace drafts, let's not punish one who actually did.  This MFD needs to be closed.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 05:17, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Lord of mercy. Articles do not spring fully formed from the head of Zeus. They need to be worked on somewhere and we permit that to happen in userspace. If this were a stale draft then so be it, but it was started yesterday. When this is closed, if the editor who started the article hasn't come back since being bitten a barrel of trout should be headed in the nominator's direction. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 08:57, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. While WP:BLP does indeed apply to userspace, this article is not in violation of it. Controversial BLP content must always be sourced, wherever it appears. Uncontroversial text however can be unsourced in a draft article. --Surturz (talk) 13:31, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep legitimate draft, does now cite sources. WP:BLP doesn't specify that uncontroversial material must be sourced and WP:BLPPROD does not apply to userspace. Hut 8.5 21:02, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep, there's no need for BLP paranoia in a user space draft. If anyone complains, we can just tell them that this is only a draft, not a real article. --The Evil IP address (talk) 12:30, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
