In all fairness Googling, then adding the information is a lot of work.
It's a couple of minutes. And at the end of it you have a useful article instead of a hole in the ground.
Nocking out people on RC patrol for couple of minutes soon results in the loss of RC patrol as they are all of researching stuff.
Goodness, editors of an encyclopedia performing research! We can't have that! Anybody would think we wanted to be as good as Britannica or something!
You know exactly what geni meant. This sort of cheap shot helps nobody.
I'm sorry that you see it as a cheap shot; it's rather the reverse. I regard the argument that research prior to deletion would detract from recent changes patrolling as utterly indefensible. I find it difficult to believe that anyone would seriously attempt to defend it.
