mostly done with commonsense.
As what looks like the most radical inclusionist in this debate, I
should note that when I have the stomach for new pages patrol, about
half the pages should die. Not all of these are clear cut speedies,
but most of them are clear cut deletes. Since new pages patrol is
pure hell, and your eyes burn rapidly from the stupid, I tend to be
very supportive of people being given a long leash when they do it.
Half is a little high
The number of people who can contribute at least
moderately OK
articles on first edit is such that we can afford to lose the wholly
illiterate to Comixpedia and other sites.
But as I look at Comixpedia, that's pretty obviously not who we lost.
