BLP PROD[edit]

Hello, Phil Bridger,

I understand that we have different attitudes towards Proposed deletion but please do not remove a BLP PROD tag without adding a reference to the page or it will just be re-tagged until one has been added. You reminded me of WP:BEFORE, but you could do more than remove a tag, you could also go back into previous versions of an article to find a proper reference yourself.

If there is no reliable source added over the course of a week to support one claim in the article, it will be deleted. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:18, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Which of the many articles that you incorrectly BLPPRODded are you taking about? Whichever it was do you sincerely believe that you are acting in the interests of an encyclopedia by such blackmail? It would be absolutely ridiculous for one editor to be able to remove sources and then for another to be able to delete the article on the grounds that it is unsourced. That would leave every single BLP on Wikipedia open to BLPPROD. Phil Bridger (talk) 08:45, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

OK. I've found Bonifacio Castillo Cruz, which seems to be what you were talking about (but saying so would have saved me several minutes' detective work). That had a reference right when it was created, so I have simply done what you should have done rather than propose deletion and restored it. Wouldn't it be better if we all, especially administrators, acted in such a way rather than call for deletion of articles in which references have been removed? Don't you see that you are actively helping whoever it was who, whether misguided or a vandal, removed the reference? Phil Bridger (talk) 09:41, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

And now I have seen Mohammad-Reza Gharaei Ashtiani. Please do something constructive with it, as I have to go and look after my grandchildren now. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:45, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

I just realised that I worded that badly. I am more than happy to look after my grandchildren voluntarily, do there's no "have to" about it. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:41, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

thanks for the laugh and glad it isn't just me who has no ability to comprehend some of this nonsense. Star Mississippi 18:05, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
