One thing we should probably introduce in this area though is that articles which do not provide any references should be speedy deletions. Now there are probably a whole lot of good articles out there right now which would fit that, so for now let's make the CSD criterion only for articles caught in the first 48 hours.
Now this, while a rather draconian policy, is at least not inimical to the nature of Wikipedia, as AfD is. Of course, I'd rather that people be expected to make a good-faith effort to find a reference before deleting.
I think this is something that we need collaboration for. A page upon which articles that don't contain any references at all can be placed. If references are added they can be removed from the page. If they stay there for a month or so, they may be deleted. No limits on article age would be needed.
