Yes sir, those fanatical deletionists are out to destroy the Wikipedia again. Those like-minded thugs are the definition of evil.
There's an "ad-hoc" policy that every single school gets kept, thanks to "fanatical inclusionists" who as a "group of like-minded individuals can all en block vote" to keep them. "Then when someone comes along and says 'hey, this is ridiculous in this case' the chorus jumps up and says 'that's policy. We've kept 'x' number on these grounds. If you oppose this you are opposing policy'. Others then think that if it is policy it must have been defined and discussed somewhere, so they, even though it seems illogical, don't stand up to the block, meaning more and more articles get kept in effect by an ad hoc policy set by a few likeminded individuals who are always on the page voting."
See how that works the other way too?

No. Not at all. There is no policy. There is a group of people who are engaging in mass deletions, not of stuff worthy of deletion, but of often high quality stuff on the basis of made up grounds which they justify on the basis of past deletions which they themselves masterminds. They usually do it without even informing the creators of the work of their proposed deletion and go ballistic if their pseudo-policy is questioned. (Many of them do not then even bother to fix the problems deletions cause but leave it to others to inform people of proposed deletions, to try to introduce some sanity into the manner in which deletions are handled, and to repair broken articles after the stuff has been deleted.
