How do you divine a reliable from an unreliable source ? There are many subjects that are based on believing in certain truths and when these axioms are denied by others, does that make them unreliable ? Or do you subscribe to the view that only "objective" truths should be used for Wikipedia ?
A reliable source is one that supports one's own point of view. An unreliable source is one that supports the other person's point of view. :-(
Ultimately it's up to the reader to decide whether a source is reliable. While "source" is relatively objective, and answers the question, "Where did this come from?" we can't say this about "reliable". It is in the same category of weasel words as "notable".
