Wikipedia:Unreferenced BLP Rescue/November 2009

This page documents the Unreferenced BLP Rescue Project's work on eliminating unreferenced BLPs from November 2009

Project #3 - November 2009
Category:Unreferenced BLPs from November 2009 is project #3. It stands at 379. Let's make it a zero!
 * 370. No witty stories to share as of yet.--Milowent • talkblp-r  14:22, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * 362 – I polished off the Vs. There are many stubs that are easy to reference in this batch - hopefully we will be able to whittle it down in short order. --Jezebel's Ponyo shhh 15:41, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * 334 - "I" is clear with one sent to AFD -- Whpq (talk) 20:28, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * 321 - I gave Irv Weinstein a go. It still needs better referencing but that's as good as I can manage from what I've dug up.  Others can feel free to have a go at it.  Irv deserves a better article! -- Whpq (talk) 13:26, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * 299 - We have cleared out 80 articles in just 1.5 days. --Jezebel's Ponyo shhh 18:49, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * 296 - G is all either cleared or heading towards a deletion process, there were three of the latter, which makes me wonder if that's more frequent in the more recent articles. -- j &#9883; e decker  talk  23:24, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * 267 - Finished off the As, only two PRODs and a copyvio remain. --Jezebel's Ponyo shhh 20:40, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * 254 258 - This month is going by quickly! I should be able to get a few more done here before I leave for Greenland for a few weeks!  (Drop me an email if you come across any unsourced BLPs out of the Disko Bay area, LOL!)  --  j &#9883; e decker  talk  16:49, 31 July 2010 (UTC)  (and 'J' is with us no longer, thus the update)   --  j &#9883; e decker  talk  17:54, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Greenland! Well, I've been away to more mundane places the past few days, will hop back into sourcing shortly.--Milowent • talkblp-r  01:07, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 250 - Think "R" is clear now apart from those in AfD without hope of rescue --Plad2 (talk) 21:19, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 243- Knocked out the "U"s which really is not a notable accomplishment, although Miss Poland 2008 is now sourced.--Milowent • talkblp-r 04:12, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: I've only been around intermittently the last few days but should be able to commit more time over the next day or two. Will try to knock the number down below 200 ASAP. --Jezebel's</b> Ponyo <sup style="color:navy;">shhh 15:58, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 223 - I made my way through about half of the S's - referenced 18 and PRODed two. --<b style="color:navy;">Jezebel's</b> Ponyo <sup style="color:navy;">shhh 20:21, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 199 - Sourced another 20 or so (plus 5 PRODs). --<b style="color:navy;">Jezebel's</b> Ponyo <sup style="color:navy;">shhh 18:14, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 189 - bumped into another beauty pageant title holder going through the F's -- Whpq (talk) 13:46, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I've not been very active editing the past few days, but will get back to these soon. I am glad we still hacking away, too bad more folks don't seem to be jumping on. I guess its not as sexy as article over whether awesome flight attendants deserve articles.--Milowent • <sup style="position:relative">talk<span style="position:relative;bottom:-2.0ex;left:-3.2ex;*left:-5.5ex;">blp-r  02:45, 11 August 2010 (UTC)


 * 185 - O has been cleared. John Oppliger was redirected as there was no indpendent notability (and looking at the history, it was previously merged for the same reason) -- Whpq (talk) 13:26, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 167 - and three more pageant titleholders showed up as I worked the M's. -- Whpq (talk) 03:17, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 162 - And another pageant BLP working through the M's -- Whpq (talk) 03:28, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 151 (on the page, 161 here - I assume some lag in the count) - I've done what I can with L and T. Found another beauty pageant in L (Miss Serbia 2008). I confess I find the sportsmen and the musicians slow-going and the article on Sajida Talfah is going to be a challenge. --Plad2 (talk) 22:12, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 130 - --Plad2 (talk) 21:38, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 121 - Almost done with the M's. Tadeusz Markiewicz is one that I'm stuck at.  It appears there may be Polish sources available, but the name appears to be a common enough name that the search filters need addiitonal qualifiers to narrow it down, and I am linguistically ill-equipped to deal with this. -- Whpq (talk) 16:45, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 108 - F is now complete with one article sent to AFD, and I came across 2 beauty pageant title holders int he F's. -- Whpq (talk) 17:28, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 95 - Getting there.--Plad2 (talk) 06:32, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 84 - L has been cleared with the last remaining L sent to AFD. -- Whpq (talk) 19:10, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 71 - B has its remaining articles up for deletion except for Chris Ball (rugby union). I've dropped a note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rugby union requesting assistance for that article. -- Whpq (talk) 15:15, 27 August 2010 (UTC) ... And now Chris Ball has also been sent to AFD. -- Whpq (talk) 16:50, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 52 - almost there! The good news is that out of the 52 articles listed I count only 36 that still require references; the rest are undergoing PROD or AfD nominations. --<b style="color:navy;">Jezebel's</b> Ponyo <sup style="color:navy;">shhh 20:08, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 46, of which 17 are headed for deletion, 1 toward a merge, and 28 are still to be dealt with. --  j &#9883; e decker  talk  05:39, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 34, of which only 10 are not already headed for a different end. --  j &#9883; e decker  talk  04:34, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
 * 23 and all of them are tagged for some form of deletion. That's all folks! -- Whpq (talk) 18:51, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
