Articles without references are simply works in progress most of the 
time, and I definitely don't support the deletion of works in progress. 
Images are different since it's far harder to check them for copyright 
issues and such.

Instead of deleting such articles, how about simply withholding "stable" 
flags from all unreferenced versions (ie, all of them)?
