'''Template:Prod blp''' should be used to tag, for [[WP:BLPPROD|proposed deletion]], any [[WP:BLP|biography of a living person]] (BLP) which lacks at least one source directly supporting at least one statement made in the article about the article's subject. Editors using this process should be familiar with the [[WP:BLPPROD|Proposed deletion of biographies of living people policy]].

Editors are encouraged to search for sources before tagging an article for deletion by this process. The tagger is '''strongly''' encouraged to notify the author(s) of each article, using the template {{tlx|ProdwarningBLP}}. Note that if you use [[WP:TWINKLE|Twinkle]] to apply this template, notification is done automatically.

If the template is removed from the article, it may be replaced in certain cases. Please refer to [[WP:BLPPROD#Objecting|the BLP PROD policy]] for details.

Using these tags will categorise an article under [[:Category:BLP articles proposed for deletion]] and [[:Category:BLP articles proposed for deletion by days left]], in addition to the current day's subcategory of [[:Category:Proposed deletion]]. If the tag is more than 7 days old, the page will also be added to [[:Category:Expired proposed deletions of unsourced BLPs]].

== Usage ==
Place one of the following lines text at the top of the article being proposed for deletion.

<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>'''subst:Prod blp'''<nowiki>}}</nowiki><br/><nowiki>{{</nowiki>'''subst:Prod blp'''|concern=<var>place reason here</var><nowiki>}}</nowiki><br/><nowiki>{{</nowiki>'''subst:Prod blp'''|concern=<var>place reason here</var>|user=<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

The template {{em|must}} be [[WP:SUBST|substituted]], i.e. <code><nowiki>subst:</nowiki></code> must be used, otherwise an error will appear. When posted correctly, an emphatic 'proposed for deletion' notice will appear at the top of the page.

When saving the page, ensure that the [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] states that you've proposed deletion. You may also wish to post further information on the article's [[WP:TP|talk page]].
