We won't deprecate American sources simply because they are American,
in the same way that we do not deprecate British sources simply
because they are British.

We already deprecate individual American sources where they are shown
to be unreliable, for example:

You—or anyone else—are welcome to raise a similar RfC if you find an
American—or any—source which is unsuitable.
