Yes, but this is a collaborative project. The person removing the information should insure that he or she is not removing some widely known fact that could be sourced with a minute or two of research. Our priority should be to insure that biographical articles are accurately sourced, but in doing so, we shouldn't forget that our mission is to construct an encyclopedia, and removing information that belongs in an accurate, balanced, NPOV article doesn't help that mission any. No harm is done in encouraging people to remember the second part of that sentence while rigorously enforcing the first.
