When the GDPR unlisting kicks in, will profiles of undated, unlinked, blank-biographied people go unlisted, or will they simply be deleted?

Sharon from what has been answered in https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/607724/for-those-who-get-lost-in-all-those-paragraphs-etc The answer is unless they have a death date or some other indicator set that they are deceased they will be unlisted at the least. Since it has been announced that profiles for children under 13 without a parent managing them will bee deleted I would worry that those profiles could be deleted as well.

I guess the best way is to have sourced dates for all profiles you care about and that you are sure are over the age of 13.
Which profiles are you worried about? The parents?

 

Children under 13, not managed by a parent - deleted

Parents of said children (if parents still alive) - converted to Unlisted.  NOT deleted
I'm thinking mainly of the profiles that got disconnected from relatives when the original PM imported their GEDCOM, like those in the Unlinked Profile category. Will we end up with a lot of lone Unlisted profiles (and possibly even orphaned Unlisted profiles that no one's ever going to be able to access), or will they just be zapped?
If they don't have any dates and they aren't marked as living, nothing will happen to them.

If they are marked as living they will be made unlisted. If they are orphans and don't have any information in them they will probably eventually be deleted by the team.
Thanks, Jamie!
