True.
On the other hand, I believe that such articles
should be held to exactly the same standards as any other Wikipedia
article, including deletion of material that cannot be sourced after
sources have been requested and the requests have been outstanding
for a reasonable length of time.
Low priority, for me, except in cases of defamation. But it also depends on other things.
[[Bob Dylan]] should have everything nailed down with sources. The latest boy band - not
so clear.
Deletion of material as unsourced is not anyway my kind of thing. 'Old school'
Wikipedians probably want to make a serious effort to source dangling facts, before
cutting them out. Or at least replace them with something that checks out.
