A Wikiproject to "eliminate unreferenced articles"?

This seems a bit excessive.
Well, it depends how that elimination is being done - by adding references is quite OK, for instance. By nominating for deletion things that no references can be found for after an exhausting search is also OK in my book.
"Eliminate" suggests to me a process of saying, "If you cannot find a reference within five days, this article will be deleted", then sitting back, rubbing one's bejewelled hands together, eating candied starfish and cackling over the scenes of your private torture chamber deep in the bowels of your alpine mansion.
