The state of this page

I stumbled upon this page the other day and noticed it had some simple errors, so I was poking around fixing them— cutting some effusive language, touching up the infobox, adding some wikilinks, etc. But upon closer inspection, this page is just rife with issues; in particular, it is nearly completely unsourced. I do not see any way to fix this without some serious effort on editors' part, probably including significant cuts and rewrites. I'm thinking it would be best to blow it up, cut out basically everything and bring it back in line with an earlier revision. Thoughts? — Kawnhr (talk) 04:34, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Someone must've added a bunch of sources from a word doc connected to their own PC as a source of some sort. I'm honestly all for that past revision. StaringAtTheStars (talk) 17:16, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Much of the text comes from an editor whose only contribution was to this article in May 24 2018 GarySealey edits. Agree, revert to previous state. EncyclopediaUpdaticus (talk) 17:27, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
