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.
