Pure Wiki Deletion. Well, I'd add a note to the article. PWD deals with the problem without destroying the work that was done on the article, it is there for anyone to recover. The note would provide a link to clear instructions on how to replace the article, with a request not to restore it without adding sources. Done by bot, this would immediately deal with the BLP problem, en masse, without the harmful effects of deletion. Adding a cat to the article, maybe "Blanked BLP," would make all such articles easy to find, for people who want to restore them with sources. The instructions for restoration would ask the restorer to remove the category. If some such article is repeatedly restored without sources by IP, it could be semi-pro'd. But, otherwise, this action requires no admin privileges. Pure Wiki Deletion. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
