A required field in the upload page for source
information is an
excellent idea. I would not carry it so far as to subject images without
source information to speedy deletion, at least not in the sense that is
practiced on en.wikipedia. Such images should go on VfD if there is
concern about the use, to allow time for us to track down the actual
source and investigate whether we can still use the image.
To give a source take 30 seconds on the part of the uploader. To go
through a VFD procedure for a single message can take hours for
other wikipedians. It's as much as matter of courtesy as fixing links when
you make a disambiguation page.
