In response to the concerns about Wikipedia:Reliable sources and previous concerns expressed about NOR and V, I've put up a proposal that No original research and Verifiability be combined into one new content policy: [[Wikipedia:Attribution]].
NOR and V are important in and of themselves (and need to be much shorter). Attribution has the potential to replace RS and about 2/3 of each of NOR and V, which would be good. As a descriptive guideline it has great potential. I don't see it replacing the prescriptive policies, but it certainly augments them well.
The intention is to replace NOR and V, because the last thing we need is yet another page about sources. (I'm leaving out discussion of RS for the moment and concentrating on the policies.)
Guy, what is missing from [[Wikipedia:Attribution]] that would need to be there for you to feel that NOR and V were well enough represented that we could get rid of them?
