Is it your position that having no sources should constitute a criterion for
speedy deletion?

Well, in all fairness, this would be more concrete and objective
criterion than the ones we've got. I mean right now I go could write a
stub that does cite three or four sources and undoubtedly some
chowderhead will want it speedy deleted, arguing that said article
does not adequately assert "notability or significance", whatever that
means.

When people do that and I'm going through the speedies I routinely
remove the A7
notes. I would hope that others would do so as well. On the other hand, if the
claim is obviously not true but is a claim of notability such as "X is
the King
of the Universe!" I'll treat that as a blatant nonsense. I however
would be very
worried about making no sources be a speedy criterion.
