Perhaps [[Wikipedia:Usable sources]] can be created as a parallel guideline with a view to replacing the one that's gone pathological.
I've sworn off of policy pages, as I said, but for those who are interested, I created this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Phil_Sandifer/Craft_of_Research
It's a summary of the relevant portions of _The Craft of Research_, with a few tweaks to better suit Wikipedia's needs. (For instance, the fact that given the choice between a print and a web-based version of a NYT article, we'd prefer the web one because we can link to it.)
Anyone who wants to import it over to the Wikipedia namespace and make a sensible guideline out of it is encouraged.
