Proposed blanking is the way to suggest that an article is uncontroversially a blanking candidate, but that it does not meet the more stringent criteria for speedy blanking. If a ({{ subst:prob}}) tag is added to an article, the article will be blanked about 5 days later if nobody objects. If any user objects — usually by removing the tag — then the article may be taken to Articles for blanking for further discussion. User and User talk pages may also be blanked in the same way, but only if the user has no recent edits and has made few or no contributions to the encyclopedia. If the tag is removed from a User or User_talk page, the page may be taken to Miscellany for Discussion.
Articles tagged with the {{ prob}} template will be checked over by a user after five days if there have been no objections by other users. If the reason given is valid then the article will be blanked. Blanked articles should be replaced with a redirect or with a template such as Wikipedia:Experimental Deletion/XD1/Example.
Articles that:

Additionally, only articles may be proposed for blanking. The only exceptions to this rule are pages in the User and User talk namespaces which may be proposed for blanking if the user has no recent edits and has made few or no contributions to the encyclopedia.
See Category:Proposed blanking for the listing of all articles currently proposed for blanking. An automated summary table can be found at WP:PROBSUM.
Make a request at blanking review. Any user can unblank upon a reasonable request.
The other blanking and related processes have priority over PROB:
If you are a user deciding whether or not to blank a PROBed article:
Note: To ensure independent judgment, an article should not be blanked by the same person who placed the tag on it.
