The overall problem though is that there are guidelines and they're ignored in favor of deletionists proposing articles for deletion because of their poor quality regardless of the subject, or for a dozen other reasons not related to suggested guidelines for deletion (the play only opened a week ago so the article should be deleted).
There is no such thing as a deletionist, only different levels of inclusionism. If you think you are an inclusionist, go and visit [[Special:Newpages]], a.k.a. the Firehose of Crap.
