A Wikiproject to "eliminate unreferenced

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.
