I took a quick look the other day at the categories of unsourced
articles, which go back to December 2006; to be honest, I don't currently have the time or will myself to trawl through what is a Sisyphean task. Even limiting that to BLP articles is more than enough to tax the stamina of most volunteer editors. It's easy enough to begin a stub, and as easy to tag as unsourced, but it does take some commitment to take the bricks and fashion a mansion, which I think we should be doing.
I feel strongly that biographies of living people without sources should be deleted on sight. They can always be recreated by someone who possesses at least one reliable source.
