Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of large reentering space debris
While I recognize that this topic is often tinged with media hysteria, this article very specifically avoids that.  It easily meets  and as postdf points out, is based on a reliable source.   The Center for Orbital and Reentry Debris Studies is an independent organization involved in federally funded defense and civilian space contracts.   That organization has been involved in every launch vehicle in the U.S. inventory in the past several decades.   The list is quantitative, based on mass, not subjective nor is it based on media hysteria.  I did take the  move of adding Phobos-Grunt to the list, with references to it's de-orbit date and mass (within the tolerances of the rest of the list). If there are still concerns about the reliability of this source, CORDS is recognized as the experts on this, when something falls to Earth, CORDS is called upon to analyze it. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-space-junk-20120122,0,819657.story LA Times article on CORDS.  This organization is also recognized by NASA for their research on space junk http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/hqlibrary/pathfinders/debris.htm Space Debris resource list, NASA HQ
