This would need at least some more planning that what Wikinews offers, since the range of article types is vastly different on Wikipedia. But not at all a bad idea if it can be done well.

Rather than going on a campaign to kill all new articles without sufficient sourcing, would it be time to introduce article prefilling, using the <inputbox> extension?
For an example, go to en.wikinews.org, type something into the "Start a new article" box and hit "Create article". This example is created using the wikitext:
<inputbox> type=create preload=Template:New_page editintro=Template:New_article_intro width=25 bgcolor=#f0f0ff </inputbox>
Presumably we'd need this switched on for en:wp if it isn't already.
