So I take out the claims, slap a prod tag on it, and let it be. To my delight, this has been mostly successful - only two or three got reverted with whiny edit summaries, and one of them got taken to AFD and deleted anyway (on the grounds that we really, really aren't a sex offenders registry). I strongly feel the encyclopedia was substantially better for doing this, and isn't that the point?
Absolutely. What I'm afraid of is that this process/PROD will end up being used on articles like [[Demographics of Latvia]] simply because there are far too many idiot gold farmers out there.
Mmm. I don't think we need a new formal process for this - but I do think the existing expansion of PROD into "put up or shut up" is occasionally necessary.
