Does it? How?
It reduces the credibility of the project.

I would rather have an encyclopedia that has a truly staggering amount of information but that some people dismiss because it has some silly articles than a well-respected but heavily incomplete encyclopedia. If I wanted that, I'd just go to Britannica.

I said keeping unencyclopedic articles hurts Wikipedia. When people dismiss Wikipedia they're often talk about stubs they find incomplete and items they don't expect to find in encyclopedia. I mean unencyclopedic entries which shouldn't be here to begin with as per WP:NOT.
