[WikiEN-l] The deletion paradox

Hi all,
  This is the deletion paradox as I see it:

1) Wikipedia has nearly a million articles. A very large number of
them are crap. The more articles we delete, the better.
2) Deleting articles causes unhappiness and tension. The more articles
we delete, the more unhappiness and tension.

Anyone have a solution?
