sprinkle it with {{fact}}, cut out any dubious statements, and put it on some list along the lines of ([[Wikipedia:horrible articles which will be removed if they don't shape up really soon]]) for a couple weeks and delete it if it doesn't get improved to where it's verifiable and from a perspective of history (or have a chance of quickly getting there).
Why do we delete "horrible" articles if they don't shape up "really soon"? What's soon? Why don't we want horrible articles hanging around for 2 years? Are "horrible" articles better or worse than stubs on the same topics?
By the way, [[LUG]]s generally aren't attached to streets, they're usually attached to entire metropolitan areas. In fact, I suspect a well-written article on the [[Suncoast Linux Users Group]], for example, would survive a VFD vote today.
I'm sad to hear that well-writtenness is a criteria in AfDs. If it's not well-written someone should just fix it.
