Unfortunately, the things which CAN be quickly deleted are very limited.
Right now, there is a huge number of pages written by a troll named [[El Coronado]] which are obvious fiction, but they are not allowed to be speedy deleted, because obviously false information is not an acceptable condition (by some) for speedy deletion. Instead, we have to go through the cumbersome VfD process to get rid of them. If obviously false information was an accpetable criterion, then we could have gotten rid of all of this user's creations already, and we wouldn't have several different entries on VfD for them.
If there were no VfD, what would be the inclusionists' acceptable process
for getting rid of this false information?
I don't think any "inclusionists" have argued to get rid of VfD. We're just saying it isn't working like it was originally designed to. I don't have an alternative process, just a recommendation that people actually follow policy on which articles should be listed on VfD - this is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Importance
It took a great deal of work and research by several people actively
involved in the VfD process to make this into a useable article. Would those of you objecting to VfD actually have preferred that it have remained as it was in its original state?
I am an active participant in [[Cleanup]]. But there are hundreds of
articles listed there that never get worked on. By putting a 5-day deadline on them on the VfD page, we get some very reasonable articles, which then get kept. VfD is NOT just a "deletionist" playground, it's a serious effort by many people to make decent articles, or to figure out what to do with articles that aren't decent.
We are saying "improve the article, don't delete it , if the article is important (Wikipedia:Importance) enough". VfD is not about improvement, it's about deletion. Cleanup is about improvement. Yes, there are some articles (less than hundreds) which are never worked on. Yet surely that is better than the hundreds which are deleted, not because they don't belong in Wikipedia, but because they aren't good enough?
