Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic
Programming language(s): AWB
Source code available: Yes
Function overview: Remove WikiProject Sports template from biography talk pages.
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):
Edit period(s): One time run, then periodically as needed.
Estimated number of pages affected: 6,000
Exclusion compliant (Y/N): Yes
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Yes
Function details: WikiProject Sports does not include people in their scope. There are alot of talk pages that include "WikiProject Sports", "WikiProject Sport" and "WikiProject Handball". The code only removes the WikiProject Sports/Sport/Handball template. A list of just fencers with the sports template can be found in my Sandbox. I may do other WikiProjects in the future. For example, WikiProject Film is another project that does not include people. Should I seek approval from BRFA first before doing another WikiProject?

The existence of Wikipedia:WikiProject Sports/Handball unreferenced BLPs implies that WikiProject Sports does concern itself with BLPs. You haven't linked to any discussion forming a community consensus; if you haven't already, please publicise your BRfA at Wikipedia Talk:WikiProject Sports so as to demonstrate consensus for these changes.

Also: yes, I'd be fine with this BRfA applying to other WikiProjects in the future, but I must emphasise that bot edits without a demonstratable consensus must not be made. Josh Parris 05:36, 22 February 2012 (UTC) reply
I think the bot task itself is fine, as long as you can show a discussion by each project to that end. Could you do that for Sports or Films before we get to a trial? MBisanz talk 21:49, 25 February 2012 (UTC) reply
Discussion has been running for just over a week at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Sports#Running a bot to remove articles from WikiProject Sports. I belive a consensus has been established. Bgwhite ( talk) 21:22, 29 February 2012 (UTC) reply

Anyway, otherwise looks good. Do you want more trial or are you confident it works? — HELLKNOWZ ▎ TALK 11:28, 8 March 2012 (UTC) reply
