FFS.
Whack someone over the head with [[WP:BITE]] ?
Why not just start applying the policy? Set a time limit.
No RS, delete. Maybe be nice and provide 1 last extended
deletion notice: "This article will be deleted in x days
if no RS are cited." That is, if it hasn't already been
uncited for several months.
It seems like there has been an extended and unstated
policy to create essentially article shells simply to get
the article count up and increase Wikipedia's popularity.
WP has a high enough count and popularity. Why not start
actually focusing on content detail and enforcing the long
standing yet rarely applied policies?
The alternative seems to be to continue to be the rear end
of jokes about knowledge by consensus and hearsay like that
on the 1/24 Colbert Report until WP loses what trust it
has.
