What is bad, to look at what WP:RS itself, is having material 'likely
to be challenged' without support. I don't agree that a page of
college-level calculus, known and uncontroversial for two centuries,
should be deleted for the pedantic reason that it isn't referenced.
... I'll have to go borrow myself a college-level (/me presumes that
means "University" not "secondary school") calculus textbook and put
some references in, then. (Very few students actually buy the things
because the material in them is available via lecture notes, MathWorld,
Wikipedia, or the copy in the library...)
