Will any admin have the brass ones to do the correct thing and delete an awful unsalvageable article, or will they count up the votes, wimp out, declare "no consensus" or "keep" and let an unencylopedic carbuncle survive?
To answer your general question about doing the right thing, the answer is "Yes, despite whatever the 'new generation' might think". To refer to your specific case, the decision was correct. I don't see how lightsaber combat is an unencyclopedic topic. Rather fanboyish? Yes. But encyclopedic? Hell yes.
