[WikiEN-l] Proposed {{prod}} for articles with no sources

[White Cat]

put up or shut up is bureaucracy which is a violation of [[WP:NOT]].
Articles should never EVER be tagged for deletion for the sake of a process.


If an article has trivial flaws (such as lack of sources), correcting is
much easier, faster, and productive than involving any kind of process.
