Yes, one remedy is for even-handed people to join these drives, and
not leave them solely in the hands of those wishing to delete as much
as possible as quickly as possible. But it will take a lot of us, and
the sensible people are usually fully occupied otherwise.

On this subject, when I went over to the page for this
deletion drive
I found a note that all of the articles beginning with Y that were
tagged as unreferenced for a given month were either fixed or put on
{{prod}}.
I looked at them, and removed the {{prod}} tag from articles that
seemed to be claiming to have some notability. Of those, three
subsequently got referenced, one got taken to AfD (deservedly), and
one is still unreferenced.
Which goes to the heart of my problems with drives like this - they
are careless and irresponsible, and make bad decisions that break as
much as they fix.
