Jan_Dittrich added a comment.

A high-level-ish take on this:

  • Currently many items have no citation and while it would be nice to have one for every item, it seems that people focus on the most pressing first. As I got told in user research interviews e.g. "date of death" should always be sourced, particularly if concerning a recent date. I assume that other (implicit?) rules exist for other properties too (And if you know more rules that seem to be de-facto-standard, please send me a message)
  • This means that a general "all things need citation" would not work.

AND

  • As in T195052 suggested, a constraint based on "especially the ones likely to be challenged," might make sense.

AND

  • Since citation or not might depend on the context and modeling, I guess a "citation needed"-ish thing, like a "reference-tag"+comment or so (I know, if at all, it is future stuff) since it could reflect the reasoning of people editing and reading.
