• 210. Oh those American football players. Makes me almost miss those Gaelic football players. Not really!--Milowent • ^hasspoken 13:01, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

At least the Gaelic Football players would be theme appropriate for today.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 16:20, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Don't worry, Oct 2014 is peak NFL UBLP. https://tools.wmflabs.org/bambots/cwb/bycat/National_Football_League.doc#Unreferenced%20BLPs The-Pope (talk) 23:32, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

The unreferenced BLP backlog has built up over the last few years to about 1,800 articles. Pinging editors that were involved when the project was last active: Milowent, Joe Decker, Whpq, Ponyo, J04n, The-Pope. I'd bet there are also some new blood that would be willing to support this project, myself included. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 04:49, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

FYI User talk:Levivich/Archive 4#1815 unreferenced BLPs might have some more users who are interested. In that discussion I think we determined that the tagged backlog actually has some possible false positives in it, and I was using this search string (507 results) to try and filter out the false positives. I think Clovermoss might have gone through some manually, and also pinging BilledMammal who had made some quarry queries about it, I think Quarry:query/72076 (949 results) might be the most recent but I'm not sure.

Thanks for the ping, this is definitely something I still care about. If anyone's interested in what I was doing with the manual organization, check my sandbox! Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 20:52, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

There are definitely false positives. I've been adding sources to some and nominating others for deletion, and I've come across a bunch of false positives in the meantime. I update the maintenance tags whenever I find them. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 21:34, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

I created two dumps a few years back - User:Ritchie333/Unreferenced and unlinked BLPs and User:Ritchie333/Unreferenced women BLPs. They may be a little out of date, but I'd guess probably not by much, given we've still got a general backlog. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 11:56, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Pinging the active editors listed under members that I haven't already pinged, because these things never end: Hallucegenia, FeydHuxtable, TiMike, Dylan620, The Interior, WWGB, Michig. Remember when you joined this WikiProject on a whim all those years ago? Hello! Obviously I don't expect everyone to jump back in, but I'm just letting you guys know that the backlog is back since you expressed interest once upon a time.

Hi folks, I just cleared out July 2019. They were all very easy to find good sources for. Will continue now and again. J04n(talk page) 18:19, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
