With tags, a biography could relatively uncontroversially be tagged as "Novelist, Woman, Best Selling, American, Blonde Haired, Enjoys Spicy Food" even if nearly everybody agrees that half the tags while true are entirely unimportant and not relevant to the subject's area of notability. Whether some tags like race and appearance should exist at all may still generate debate, but if they are only ever available modifiers and not hard categories their offense would be softened.
It appears sir is less than entirely familiar with Wikipedia edit wars. There is NO dispute that will not lead to six months of wikidrama.
So yeah, whatever we use to add tags needs to be able to add citations as well, right there next to the tag.
