> Creating lots of stubs with minimal or no sourcing
Who did that?
Well there’s a list of some on AN/I - It’s not the end of the world sort of
list, but still enough to warrant a reminder. Especially as there are quite of
lot of MEP’s...
> I understand what you're saying about the construction
> tags being off-putting to newbies
No you don't; I said no such thing.

> Saying SOFIXIT
Who said that?
No one; I was heading off a common response to that point. Sorry for being
unclear :)
> the rules are in place
Feel free to point to any "rules" that you think I broke.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BLP#Proposed_deletion_of_biographies_of_living_people
As of April 3, 2010, a new proposed deletion process was established, requiring
all BLPs created after March 18, 2010, to have at least one source that
supports at least one statement made about the person in the article, or it can
be proposed for deletion.
People are offering reasonable advice in response to this (just as some people
are being unpleasant). From my perspective; I’ve had to deal with the cleanup
of articles such as this 5 years down the road - so this is not some random
out-to-get-you sort of comment. It does make life a LOT easier just to do the
work up front :)
What are your thoughts on all this? Do you disagree? Do you have an alternative
perspective? Do you have any sort of reflection?
Tom
