That doesn't make any sense. I *can* be bothered to do the work, but I
purposely choose not to, because it's not appropriate to Wikipedia. I
could mass-import stubs on Oklahoma City deaths, or WW2 soldier deaths,
or Iraq soldier deaths, or hell, my grandfather's death, but none of
these are appropriate.
