This template calls {{ BLP unsourced}}, which places articles into Category:All unreferenced BLPs, so this template also places articles into that category. This is not ideal in my opinion. Browsing through the related changes of Category:All unreferenced BLPs, I saw the articles Carrie Underwood and Jessica Biel, articles with multiple sources. Category sorting can be turned off using methods outlined in Category:Category suppression-supporting templates. But perhaps a category called Category:All BLPs with unreferenced sections should be created, which this template would put articles into. I suggest the code of {{ BLP unsourced}} be pasted here and modified to do so. -- Pixelface ( talk) 05:56, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
So will this suggested change of categorisation happen soon please? I've just been totally confused by the highly-sourced article Robin Shroot coming up as unreferenced BLP, finally worked out it came down to a stats table which I'd tagged as {{ unreferencedsection}} being changed by a bot to {{ BLP unsourced section}} thus putting the article into Category:All unreferenced BLPs. cheers, Struway2 ( talk) 10:32, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Please revert the latest change. Chris, if this template was only used on non BLP items I'd agree, but it is used on 100s of partially referenced BLPs. The-Pope ( talk) 00:42, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
Previously, the template read, "This biographical section of a needs additional citations. . ." which made no sense. As far as I could tell there weren't any parameters that would make it make sense, so I just changed to "section of an article," which seemed to be what the original author had in mind. If that's wrong, or if there were parameters that are now broken, please change accordingly. Chick Bowen 19:56, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
If this template is called unsoruced section then the tag should say: This biographical section of an article does not cite any references or sources. Mattg82 ( talk) 02:10, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
The wording of this template is wrong. Unsourced means there are no sources, not that "additional" sources are needed. At the moment, it says exactly the same thing as {{ BLP sources section}}.
The wording should therefore be changed as follows:
This biographical section of an article does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.
Can someone please make the change? Thanks.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 20:56, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

while this template, {{ BLP unsourced section}}, includes these extra words:
I suggest that the two templates are harmonised by removing the words "especially if potentially libelous or harmful", which are confusing and contradictory. The word "especially" implies that there are other circumstances in which such material might not have to be removed immediately. This contradicts and undermines the assertion in bold, which appears not to be intended to admit any exceptions.

Should this article be used only on biographies of living people, or on all articles where BLP applies? In other words, BLP applies to people recently deceased and musical ensembles. Should this template (and {{ BLP unsourced}}, {{ BLP sources}} and {{ BLP sources secion}}) apply to articles about the recently deceased and musical ensembles or should the equivalent generic template be applied instead? 208.81.212.224 ( talk) 00:48, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
