I'm also tired of the use of '<whatever>-cruft' as a reason for deletion. There's a certain mindset that seems to think that the existence of articles on minor but factual and verifiable topics detracts from Wikipedia. To that, I'd say: everyone's pet interest is a fringe interest to someone.
I remember once coming across a VfD where someone wanted to delete an article because it was "sciencecruft". It was about some obscure mathematical thing I didn't understand, and probably that the nominator didn't understand either. :)
Just think of all the articles that are historycruft or geographycruft...
