So, what if someone threatens to remove your
statement as 'unreferenced'?
Offer to add 300 references into the article from referring one ;) Or
add them ;)
I think that some kind recommendation should be written on Wikipedias.
And what if that other article is unsourced?
(1) find source and add or (2) mark that statement is not verified or
(3) if there are no sources, remove it from both articles (or put the
other article on RfD because it is original research).
Number 1 is clearly the best option. By marking the statement you show
that you disagree with it, and are thus warning the reader to be
careful. The absence of sources should absolutely '''not''' be
the
reason for deleting an article. Nor does it justify jumping to the
conclusion that it is original research.
