Where {{sofixit} != speedy deletion when the article has already been kept after an AfD.
{{sofixit}} quite often involves a clueful editor or two camping on the article for months, reverting attempts to turn it into a hatchetjob. Which is fine; it's what we do with [[George W. Bush]] every day. But we only have so many clueful editors with time to spare, and this process simply runs out after a time.
Indeed, but carping on the sidelines doesn't help either.
Doc is not on the sidelines; this is a complaint from the coalface! He's one of the people who doesn't scale - I know where he's coming from, as I was doing much the same before I partly burned out.
There are no shortage of crap articles thast the community vaguely feels we ought to have, but where no-one steps up to maintain neutrality and they just sink back into hideousness. We need to figure out what to do, and just having a committee say "keep, cleanup" every six months isn't it.
