Ok, can you explain how a person can find a source for a claim they
have never seen? You seem to be suggesting that the person removing
the claim from article is the one who should find a source for it.
Sort of a disencentive to remove the claim, no?

I am suggesting no such thing. It is up to a person who is making negative
claims about a person to provide reliable sources for it.
We should not leave potentially defamatory claims on Wikipedia either in the
articles or on talk pages where they are still accessible without sources.
End of story.
