Please explain to those of us who are "deletionist" idiots (gee, isn't it nice how you can just pigeonhole all of the people who make frequent use of VfD into ONE category?) what useful purpose all of these steps serve.
Did someone call you or anyone else an idiot? If so, I want to strongly urge against that. And if no one said anything of the sort, and you implied it anyway, I want to strongly urge against that.
For the record, I don't intend the labels "deletionist" or "completionist" to be pejorative in any way, nor do I think that we should use them in such a fashion as to fail to acknowledge significant differences among advocates of either side.
