You just built it. Right there. You showed how they do not conform to
Wikipedia's policy and purpose. Thus, assuming they do exist, they
can be deleted freely. Because that's what consensus is - the
conclusion of a sensible discussion.
Or do you mean we can hold a stupid poll to delete them?

Of course those of us who have been around for any length of time will
already have an unoficial list of those who would be likely to support
a certian position if we called on them. Userboxes don't work so well
for that since people we be able to spot the pattern.
