Deletion of unreferenced BLPs is a process used for nominating unreferenced biographies of living persons for deletion, and deleting such pages after n days if no reliable sources are added (n a number to be determined). Its purpose is to reduce the number of biographies of living persons which stay unsourced for months and years after being created and being tagged with the problem.
There are three steps:
- An article is nominated when the {{dub}} tag is added.
- If any person adds one or more relevant reliable sources to the article and then removes the {{dub}} tag, the BLP deletion is aborted and may not be renominated. The article may still be nominated for a regular deletion discussion of course.
- The article is first checked and then manually deleted by an administrator n days after nomination. It may be incubated.
