Ensuring high quality sources where needed, especially science/academic topics (narrow focus)

Actually, this is smth I though about. I believe there are three large groups of articles.

  • Articles of common interest: just common stuff, bios, events, cities etc. They should be well-sourced, and it is usually not a problem to find sources. If the sources somehow can not be found, it means the article may be not notable.
  • Specialized articles. These typically can only be written by experts, and experts have access to sources. The problem is not that we do not have sources but that we so not have experts.
  • Fan-driven articles: movies, games ets. Sources here are problematic, and at some point a general decision should be made by communities what happens to these articles/topics.

Referring to the below discussion, I am not talking here of NPOV, this is a separate issue.
