This is where the divide seems to hit. Those who work

to have a harsher view of things, arguing that all unsourced
statements about living people, for instance, should be immediately
removed. Those who do a lot of editing without hearing from the
outside world tend to find this position untenable and impractical.
Worse, they (we?) tend to just ignore it, since the number of people
advocating it is tiny, and they haven't really made much significant
noise about it yet.
I'm yet to see any meaningful common ground found between these
positions, but I'm optimistic we can find a solution.

There's plenty of common ground- this is an immediatist/eventualist
split, after all, and we all know that one day the Immediate moment
will have become the eventual. (In other words, as time passes and
articles improve, this issue will become less and less important until
it only makes sense in rare individual articles).
