Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alleged Ya'alon quotation
While you convinced me to ''merge'', I disagree that ''there's absolutely no reason to entirely delete well-sourced information''. There are ''many'' reasons to do so: when the information doesn't verify is on the top of the list. |Verifiability, not truth is as important a core principle or even more important than |reliable sources. Second on the list is bias, an important part of : we must give due weight to arguments, even if this means deprecating sourcing (just because one side of a dispute is more vocal or has better media, we shouldn't give them undue weight). And ''another'' reason, is |notability: ''is this worth writing for in an encyclopedia?''. For example, see this AfD: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Paul_Croft. The article was very well sourced, from reliable and notable media, but the subject was not deemed worth of encyclopedic treatment. Sourcing isn't everything, and de-COATRACKing as you suggested is something that many articles around here could use
