Welcome toWikiProject Unreferenced BLP Rescue. Several Wikipedians formed this collaboration resource and group in July 2010 dedicated to reducing the backlog of Unreferencedbiographies of living persons (UBLP) articles. The backlog was eliminated on September 28, 2011, when all articles that were marked as being a UBLP were in adeletion process. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, pleasejoin the project, inquire on thetalk page and see theto-do list below.

If you are sad that the project is inactive, come on over toWikiProject Unreferenced Articles - we are very muchactive, and we deal with Unreferenced BLPs too. Inour November 2024 drive we cleared the backlog of Unreferenced BLPs.

TheUnreferenced BLP Rescue Project achieved its aim of eliminating unreferenced BLPs from Wikipedia by concentrating on one month's tagged articles at a time. We found it was much more enjoyable and effective to do this important task as a team, rather than labouring on Gaelic hurler articles by yourself.

As of September 2011, we have eliminated 40 months of tagged unreferenced BLPs. An archive of our progress is provided below.

Our current task is to maintain the list of UBLPs to a minimum and ensure as new articles are created or old articles discovered, they are either referenced or deleted.

This Wikiproject covers all articles contained withinCategory:Unreferenced BLPs.

Celebrating the completion of a month, a trophy is selected that represents a theme or significant event in the work for that month. For example, April 2008 had many Gaelic athletes, and so a Gaelic Football trophy was selected. The image need not be of an actual trophy, but should represent the theme.
