regard the argument that research prior to deletion would detract from
recent changes patrolling as utterly indefensible. I find it
difficult to believe that anyone would seriously attempt to defend it.
Why? We've seen the cost of a failed RC patrol. If you want to put an
article on wikipedia doing a minium of research yourself is not too
much to ask.
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.
