And what do we do about articles which CAN'T be "improved"? What do we do with such articles as [[Demish ]], [[Anarcho Coronado de Murillo ]], [[Eckvic Culture]], [[Eckvic (god)]], [[Eckvic]], [[Anarcho Coronado de Murillo ]], [[Francisco Vásquez de Coronado]], [[Political Leader of The United Socialist Union ]], [[United Socialist Union]] and [[Coronadists]]?

Nobody is suggesting to "allow junk to remain in the pedia". People are instead suggesting to get rid of the junk by improving it rather than deleting it.
Often, improved junk is still junk. Trying to turn a sow's ear into a silk purse usually results in a fancy sow's ear. Painting the Lada does not make it any less a Lada. Moreover, I do not detect a rapid move by either oldtimers or newbies to clean up the junk, which will languish in wiki's pages until the packrats (sorry - I mean the preservationists) take a holiday.
