standard then every article on wikipedia needs {{fact}} plastered all
over it.
Again, have a look at the article in question.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Potter_and_the_Half-Blood_Prince
"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, released on July 16, 2005, is
the sixth novel in J. K. Rowling's popular Harry Potter series. There
are seven novels planned."
At least the part about the seventh novel can and should be
referenced. By the way, the last sentence is starting to weasel. Who
exactly is planning: The publisher, the author, the marketing
department?

I'm not sure I would call that weaseling since I don't think the
person who wrote it was trying to get away with saying something they
could not prove. We don't wasn't to over load our terms that we are
using to admonish people lets they lose their meaning. That is simply
an example of laziness or apathy. But i take your point.
