I just noticed that when creating a new article the explanatory text that appears before the edit area ends in this bolded line:
Articles that do not cite reliable published sources will be deleted.
with "reliable published sources" linking to [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources]]. The promise of deletion is given in a rather absolute manner, but "reliable sources" is a guideline and is therefore supposed to have flexibility in its application. Could this line's wording be changed to something that more accurately reflects this flexibility, or perhaps link instead to [[Wikipedia:Verifiability]]?
