Yup. Sadly, without rules like that, the editors who self-evidently lack Clue will fight tooth and nail to keep crap, on the grounds that there is no policy which says it must go.
I think it's more likely that they disagree with the premise that it actually _is_ crap. And they very well might be right since labeling something "crap" can be highly subjective. Assume good faith, please.
