Template documentation

This template is used by the standard installation of Twinkle. If you are planning to make major changes to this template or nominate it for deletion, as a courtesy, please notify Twinkle's user base and maintainers at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle.

Template:Prod blp is used to tag biographies of living persons (BLPs) for proposed deletion when the article has no sources. This is only used for BLPs created after 18 March 2010. 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 {{dated prod blp}} 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, in addition to the current day's subcategory of Category:Proposed deletion.
