I was reviewing *Low Quality Posts* this morning when I came across something I often encounter. An answer which states something with authority but completely lacks any references. 

The question was https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/84587/what-is-the-name-of-the-small-containers-of-half-half-etc

The answer given (in full), was: 

> The little plastic portion cups are called RAMIKENS

In this particular instance @svenyargs has gone to the trouble of researching the answer for the person that had answered, and posted the fruits of that research in the comments: 

> Hello, user268075. You could make your response more of a
> one-stop-shop answer—and therefore more useful to site visitors—if you
> added a relevant definition of ramekin from a reputable dictionary,
> with a link to the appropriate page online (if possible).
> Merriam-Webster, at least, limits its definitions of ramekin to (1) a
> baked dish containing cheese, egg, and breadcrumbs, and (2) a small
> baking dish. – Sven Yargs

In light of this it did not seem right to recommend the answer for deletion, because with the commentary it did seem somewhat relevant. 

However I so frequently come across these low quality answers, which state a purported truth without any evidence what so ever, that I wonder should we not have a category for them in the low quality post deletion options?

Here is an image of the options currently available:

And none fit this frequent type of low quality answer I encounter. 

My suggestion is that a new category be added: 

> **This is an answer which has no evidence to support it.**
> In order to justify your answer you should include references which demonstrate its truth. 

Or wording of similar effect. 

There are two linked questions I would also like to ask the community here, so the three questions are: 

 1. Should we have an additional category of low quality post to support the type of low quality post I just described?
 2. Should we automatically recommend answers such as these for deletion if we do not know if the answer is correct?
 3. Should we automatically recommend answers such as these for deletion if we know the answer to be true, but haven't got the time and or inclination to go and research the answer for the original poster and update their question?
