That's a poor argument for deletion.  If an article is rubbish, you
don't have to delete its history to produce a rewrite.

On recreation, I do think there is a tendency to over-zealous use of
the recreation CSD.  In particular parking protection tags on certain
subjects seems to go against the spirit of both the encyclopedia and
the wiki.
