If this group of wikipedia editors, which are probably the most experienced editors around and which as you pointed out contains sitting arbitrators, if this group believes that totally unreliable sources should be left in place, which is in fundamental opposition to the letter and spirit of Wikipedia:Verifiability, then we have a problem.
I doubt we have any disagreement on "totally unreliable sources". I doubt we have disagreement on "totally reliable sources" - there aren't any, in practical terms. So let's first be clear that this is all a grey area.
And let's be clear on WP:V. It merely states that factual claims should (in principle) be verifiable from reliable sources. It means that a way to challenge WP content is to assert that no reliable source exists for what is claimed. It is certainly to be applied "per fact", not "per source".
