I think it's more accurate to say that VfD is tolerated but not
liked. A lot of material gets deleted that I think should be kept,
but if I spent as much on VfD as some people do, I would a) not
get anything else done in my limited WP time, and b) come to hate
dealing with WP in general. I know there are a bunch of other people
who feel the same way. It's a spectacular exaggeration to say that
a 10-4 vote out of 10,000 editors represents anything like a
"consensus", particularly when so many have been driven away by
combative, nasty, and histrionic VfD campers.

VfD has the consensus support of the community.
Articles about schools listed on VfD have, for the most part, consensus support to be
deleted. QED.

exist.
You don't need a consensus not to delete something, you need a consensus
TO delete something. VFD should be a sanity check to ensure deletions
conform to established consensus, not a forum for making up policy.
