...and that didn't happen in the end. I spend a lot of time doing non-administrative maintenance stuff around deletion. Most of the stuff that gets deleted at the "speedy deletion" level is complete trash. From the outside, people see their favourite programming language or webcomic or whatever get deleted, and, yes, that sucks. What they don't see is the reams of crap that get deleted every day. I'm pretty damn inclusionist, and there are people who are even more inclusionist than I am, but that doesn't mean they don't realise there is huge volumes of crap which ought to be deleted. See http://enwp.org/WP:AFD/T http://enwp.org/WP:AFD/T and http://enwp.org/CAT:CSD http://enwp.org/CAT:CSD Most people only encounter the deletion system because something they deeply care about has been nominated for deletion. They don't see that most of the time, the system works pretty well.
