The current hope is that the community can deal with this, if people who
behave badly are taken out of the system. That is, the community will spot
and remove original research, and if someone keeps readding it despite a
consensus that it should be removed, the person will eventually be banned.
I'd be open to a committee policing for original research at some point, if
that turns out to be necessary. Policing for NPOV is a lot more
complicated.
Well, as I noted on the list a couple of days ago, policing for original
research seems equally difficult, when even long time editors consider
original research to be "simple facts" or "simple deductive
reasoning."
Perhaps the [[Wikipedia:No original research]] page needs to be updated with
examples which make that point that if it really is that simple, someone
else will have done the work for you already, and all you need to do is
quote them.
