Interesting, but policy is policy, not your opinion or
consensus, both of which you have no NPOV reliable sources
for. Besides this discussion is with regard to articles
that are completely uncited. In other words, you're
providing a false dilemma. It's not about citing every
last fact or deleting the article. It's about getting
substantial ("significant") reliable sources cited, as is
clearly and repeatedly stated in policy and guidelines.
Oh please! Consensus guides policy, not the other way around which
would be wikilawyering.
The most valuable editors are the ones who are able to look at a
completely unsourced article and make a personal judgement about whether
the continuing absence of sources is harmful of misleading. They are
able to evaluate whether it is important to immediately add sources.
There is no dilemma, false or otherwise.
