The argument worth having is that reliable sources are a necessary 
condition for the inclusion of a topic, rather than a sufficient 
condition. (This is quite obvious, I believe, but one can go blue in the 
face saying it with no effect.) No way is the presidential pooch going 
to get deleted, in practical terms. But that only proves once more 
"voting is evil", really.
