Template talk:BLP one source

RfC of potential interest

An RfC is underway that could affect this template and may therefor be of interest to watchers of this page. The discussion is located at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle#RfC regarding Twinkle maintenance tags that recommend the inclusion of additional sources. Thank you.--John Cline (talk) 05:50, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Suggestion: add "largely or entirely" wording, to match generic "One source" template

The template's wording currently says (emphasis mine):

This biography of a living person relies on a single source.

In contrast, the more generic Template:One source template says (emphasis mine):

This article relies largely or entirely on a single source.

The "largely or entirely" wording is quite useful, because it means that template can still be applied to an article that almost exclusively cites one source but happens to have a single citation of another source in one small part of the article. The wording of this template should be edited to match. V2Blast (talk) 00:37, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

BLP one source section

I do not think there is currently a way to tag an unsourced section of a BLP similarly to {{unreferenced section}}. Would the simplest fix be to add an unnamed parameter for section to this template, i.e. {{BLP one source|section}}? – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 01:32, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
