That doesn't make any sense.  I *can* be bothered to do the work, but I 
purposely choose not to, because it's not appropriate to Wikipedia.  I 
could mass-import stubs on Oklahoma City deaths, or WW2 soldier deaths, 
or Iraq soldier deaths, or hell, my grandfather's death, but none of 
these are appropriate.
