Not consitant with what Mr Wales has been up to [[Talk:Che Guevara]]. It's a fun read.
Sure, adequately sourcing it is preferable, but if it's a choice between waiting for a source or removing it, removing is a better option. Even if you put it back in with a source ten minutes later.
Depends. Removeing the vast majority of our articles is not a good idea.
