I had blanket votes as much as the next guy, but I don't like visiting project deletion boards for each of the topics I'm interested in. I don't have that much time. When they're centralized, I can see what is being discussed at one single glance. Visiting 15 different pages is going to cause time problems. We should force people to stay away from subjects they don't know about unless they want to do the research.

That would be fine as long as the rule also applies to those making the nominations.

From where I stand, people should always do research before commenting in a
deletion debate, or nominating an article for deletion. No idea how to enforce it,but it would be a good thing for the encyclopedia. Obviously notable stuff wouldn't get deleted. Non-notable stuff would get truly vetted.

Great! At least we agree to something on the level of theory.
Ultimately, there is no doubt that the burden of establishing the sourcing for something is primarily on the person uploading the information, but not exclusively so. If people making nominations were a little less mechanical in their activity, and took the trouble to look for the easy to find sources of verification this issue would not be as much of a problem as it has been for such a long time.
