Wikipedia:WikiProject Japan/Biography task force#Unreferenced BLPs

The Biography task force is a task force of WikiProject Japan aimed at increasing the number and improving the quality of Wikipedia articles related to real people in Japan, making sure that articles on living people comply with WP:BLP.

Style guidelines

Please read these guidelines, and discuss any changes or objections on the talk page.

How can I help?

If you have some knowledge of or interest in the people of Japan, a desire to contribute, and a flair for quality, then by all means help us out. We especially need help sourcing information in biographies of living people (see the list below.)
