If you think that Wikipedia is for any kind of knowledge whatsoever, then you're right. If you think (as I do) that Wikipedia should only be for topics of a certain importance, then in fact most of the pages listed there should be deleted.
Again, I find it amazing that we have no policy on this. The deletion process cannot be fixed until we agree on the most basic criteria for deletion. We're supposed to delete pages that "will simply will never become encyclopedia articles", yet we have no basic agreement about what this means.
Thank you, Alex. I couldn't agree more; the process can't possibly get fixed until we agree in general terms on what should be deleted and what should be kept.
