Perhaps a more honest reply would have been:
"We're sorry you had to complain about this. Regrettably that's the price you pay for our determination to retain as many articles as we can, even though we can't currently maintain most of them.

Basically, we're more concerned with that type of collateral damage than with wrecking your life.

A proposal was made to actively delete *all* unsourced articles. As an attempt to solve your user's probplem, it's massive, massive, overkill.
