I strongly disagree with that; eventually producing a good encyclopedia ought to take precedence over immediately gaining good PR (or avoiding bad PR).
Eventually producing a good encyclopedia is _exactly_ what I'm talking about. That's why it's better to delete crap than keep it. Having tons and tons of junk articles does not help us create a good quality encyclopedia; it encourages more of the same.
