Going by comments I've seen, I think it feeds some people's egos to believe that they're saving WP's reputation from certain doom by quick listing of obscure articles on VfD

A similar questionable outgrowth: Some contributors are systematically going through vast numbers of articles rephrasing them. Not to make them more NPOV or anything, but to make them conform to their own personal ideal of writing style. Well meant, but a Sisyphean effort that can frustrate original contributors as well as the folks doing the rephrasing (because in doing this they will likely end up with me-against-the-world frustration.)
Hint to such editors: Diversity is good. Dig it.
