| BLP = This [[WP:Drafts|draft]] appears to make unsourced or unsufficiently sourced negative statements about a living person, contrary to [[WP:BLP]].  It is vital to document such claims with inline citations of [[WP:reliable sources]] throughout the process of developing a draft, so that the eventual article will not contain stray unsourced claims.
