Since when it has become standard to keep articles and delete recreations on sight? Whatever happen to the philosophy we had on allowing an article to be deleted so that someone with the proper knowledge can properly write the introduction of the article?
That's a poor argument for deletion. If an article is rubbish, you don't have to delete its history to produce a rewrite.
On recreation, I do think there is a tendency to over-zealous use of the recreation CSD. In particular parking protection tags on certain subjects seems to go against the spirit of both the encyclopedia and the wiki.
