The failure of some to look for obvious sourcing is more frustrating than the dubious cases that you mention. The problems that accompany the dubious cases are of a different nature than simple existence problems.
I agree. There's almost nothing more frustrating than someone going to the effort to try and delete an article, when 30 sec with Google and 2 min with the article would produce adequate references for what is currently accurate but unreferenced.
I don't want to encourage people to do the zap-delete route rather than the fix-it route. The opinion that "Someone should fix the unreferenced stuff" is reasonable, but the someone is YOU, if it bugs you.
