The proposal only requires one source. It doesn't take 30 days to find that. I seriously doubt that if this proposal goes ahead, any article that actually passes [[WP:V]] will be deleted in it, because all of them will be cited by someone who's watching them (at some stage)
If it's so easy to do why can't the people pushing this proposal just find one. Either they're too goddamn lazy to do it themselves, or they are insisting that the original contributor do it just to be dicks.
It gets very tiresome when a gang of nitwits insists on sources that they don't understand, just for the sake of having sources. These guys might as well use their personal stack of comic books as references for any random article.
There are at least two librarians posting to this list, and both have supported cautious and informed views about handling these issues.
If those who are mad with the power of deletion took a little time to fix these articles the encyclopedia would get better faster. The already constructive editors would also be able to do more because they wouldn't need to spend half of their time looking over their shoulder to see what the immature are trying to delete next.
