Yes sir, those fanatical deletionists are out to destroy the Wikipedia
again. Those like-minded thugs are the definition of evil.

There's an "ad-hoc" policy that every single school gets kept, thanks to
"fanatical inclusionists" who as a "group of like-minded individuals can all
en block vote" to keep them. "Then when someone comes along and says 'hey,
this is ridiculous in this case' the chorus jumps up and says 'that's
policy. We've kept 'x' number on these grounds. If you oppose this you are
opposing policy'. Others then think that if it is policy it must have been
defined and discussed somewhere, so they, even though it seems illogical,
don't stand up to the block, meaning more and more articles get kept in
effect by an ad hoc policy set by a few likeminded individuals who are
always on the page voting."

See how that works the other way too?
