"Having said the idea that "anybody is allowed to put whatever trash they want to" in, is completely false and you know it.". Exactly. Because of those of us who feel the need to use the VfD page and its functionality, not because of those who feel that it's perfectly all right to leave garbage lying around for whenever somebody might, sometime, in the unknown future, decide that something needs to be done about it.
So, what happens when you search for "George Washington" and "George Washington's underwear" shows up?

It will not show up. Atleast not if google search is used. I can't test whether it would show up with mediawiki's search algorithm, but if it does, that algorithm would be very much broken.

Why not? It's going to bring up every article with the term "George Washington" in it, and if [[George Washington's underwear]] begins ... [[George Washington]] wore white [[boxer shorts]], then Google will certainly pick it up.

If Google listed it that highly (in GW's case in the first dozen pages or so) then people are clearly interested in it, and that is a strong argument for having the article.
