I like how the WP:RS says RIGHT AT THE TOP: "This page is considered a content guideline on Wikipedia. It is generally accepted among editors and is considered a standard that all users should follow. However, it is not set in stone and should be treated with common sense and the occasional exception."

And when someone points out that WP:RS is just a guideline, not policy, Quatloo falls back on WP:Verifiability, and says that because he challenged the death (!!), Scalzi now has to provide a verifiable source.

What a prick.
