No, its called "scuttling other peoples work in the name of policy." Citing sources is a requirement, but its not a prerequisite. Volunteers are not on a schedule and there is no timeframe nor deadline for an article's development. The article needed to be there. Its there due to the work of the "off-their-medications" and retired set to whom Wikipedia owes its early existence.
Deletionism is evil when it makes claims to being an editorial decision. Willy on Wheels could have done the same thing. The issue (for anyone who considers making any change to any artice) is: are you helping to develop it or are you claiming to be in an editorial position to simply scuttle it?
