Project tagging and filtering out bad tags

Rather than try and resolve one letter I try and check most of them to see if the tag is correct, delete a few per G10 or A7 and decline the incorrect tags. I'd say that between a tenth a fifth are incorrectly tagged, usually people are trying to extend this from unsourced to poorly sourced but I've also declined a lot where the person is dead as well as ones on horses rock groups and fictional characters. I also try and project tag them to alert the projects. There are at least a couple of other editors who concentrate on the back of the queue and reference the ones worth saving. I think they look at these articles from the perspective of Category:BLP articles proposed for deletion by days left, as the profile there is usually a funnel - lots of articles tagged in days 8 and 9 but very few are there with only a day to go. I think that DGG and others are doing an amazing job of rescuing everything worth rescuing. ϢereSpielChequers 18:52, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Great, I hadn't created the "by days left" category when I suggested adopting a letter. Rich Farmbrough, 02:55, 16th day of January in the year 2011 (UTC).

Actually the loading into 9 days section is due mainly to category lag. Rich Farmbrough, 15:01, 25 February 2011 (UTC).

Shortcut

I imagine a fair number of people want to look at this category on a fairly regular basis (me included), so how about a redirect from CAT:BLPPROD? CAT:BLP and CAT:PROD already have them, and redirects are cheap... Alzarian16 (talk) 22:18, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

I see no reason to oppose. J04n(talk page) 22:28, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

No objections in a week, so done. Alzarian16 (talk) 12:59, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Category bug?

I'm not sure where to comment on this but it appears to be a bug. The article Fariz Huseynov is an expired prod but is listed as having 9 days left. The number of days left has not changed since the prod began. The article correctly has the Category:Expired proposed deletions of unsourced BLPs but if you go to that category the article is not in it. Very strange. GcSwRhIc (talk) 15:47, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

this was probably category lag, but since the article is deleted I can't look at it to confirm. Rich Farmbrough, 16:55, 26 May 2012 (UTC).

They all seem to be off. You have to check each article's template individually. -- Avi (talk) 20:01, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
