Remember that we are talking about coming across articles that don't 
cite their sources.  If you came across such an article on RC patrol, 
you would *not* immediately reach for AfD, and you should not be listing 
stuff on AfD without doing research (if nothing else, because then you 
couldn't write a good nom, and I've been hot on the issue of AfD 
nominations for a while now).

{{cleanup-verify}}, save, move on to the next article that crops up.
