15000 articles.
Looks like anyone who might be that someone has enough work on their
hands already.
Yep. But the vast majority of those articles are good enough that
they're better than a conspicuous hole where they used to be. I don't
object to us aiming for higher standards, but I do object to us nuking
anything that's trying to get there - if slowly.

For my part I think there's a bare minimum of effort which the authors
of an article need to perform before they can expect someone else to
fix things. Verifiability - pointing to a source where someone can
find out more information, is a big part of that bare minimum of
effort.
Of course not everyone knows about verifiability, so you should
generally give them a chance to correct their own mistake first unless
it's plainly obvious they are simply abusing the system.
