In 2006, Wikipedia ran a successful sitewide fixup project that involved editors going through every single untagged image on Wikipedia. The BLP Cleanup Project is a proposal that aims to have a similar scale, but this time round involving every BLP article on Wikipedia. There are several proposals involving new policy or feature on dealing with BLPs, but have stalled; This project has none of those. We make use of what we have right now, and fix it right now.

The working procedures are simple. A bot generates a list of all BLPs that are currently present on Wikipedia, divided into clusters of 200 articles. Editors would then go through the article as per following :

That the BLP is libel free and does not contain non-public personal information. Submission of such edits to Requests for Oversight where necessary.
If the article does not meet the minimum requirements for inclusion, it shall be marked for PROD, AfD or speedy deletion and this fact shall be indicated next to the article (with link to AfD, if applicable) listed on the cluster.
That the BLP conforms to the core content policies, and is well sourced. (WP:V, WP:NOR, WP:NPOV) To also be free of tags.
Any complicated issues that require a third opinion to be raised at the BLP noticeboard.
Once all the above are fulfilled, the last reviewed edit (diff) to be pasted against the article listed on the cluster. This is also a de-facto test of Flagged revisions/protection without the actual feature in place.

A sitewide notice for auto-confirmed editors can be used to promote this project and keep the momentum going.
