Would it make sense to alphabetize the views by username? I've never really liked the idea of chronological ordering, as I think it unfairly favors earlier views too much. --] (]) 16:16, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Could we have a go at establishing some collaboratively edited views? I can see the volume of individual, partially overlapping, partially contradicting views spiralling into ] extremely quickly. Perhaps this could be in a separate section at the bottom. ] <sup>]</sup> 16:44, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

== NOINDEX ==

Unfortunately NOINDEX is disabled in article space. That can't be done without some fairly serious changes and risks. ] <sup>]</sup> 16:50, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

== A reasonable rate ==

I think prodding 100 unreferenced BLP articles per day would be reasonable. If there are a few thousand, that will remove the backlog within a few months. ] <sup>]</sup> 16:53, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
:Actually determining the number of unreferenced BLPs would be useful, but there might be no way to do that without going through them all (and along the way we'd obviously do the cleanup, making the count moot). Apparently there are over 50,000 so tagged, but undoubtedly a significant number of those are not actually unsourced (the tags were added incorrectly, or sources were later added and the tags not removed). Still, 100 a day would probably be a reasonable starting point, and if we were handling that load we could quickly ramp it up. Even while this general RFC runs I really think we should figure out a means to deal with the unreferenced bunch just as a starting point for tackling the overall problem. Coming to agreement about prodding unreferenced BLPs (or ], which is probably acceptable to more people), is something we need to do asap, particularly as ArbCom appears ready to validate a delete-on-sight approach. I don't have a problem with doing that if we can't come to another solution, but an organized effort that is logged centrally (as opposed to admins deleting at random without warning) is much preferred. Discussion should continue at ] (and at ] though I think the former is a better route) since it's already well on its way. --] <small>| ] | ]</small> 17:08, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
