Well thats a reasonable goal, but a lot of my areas of interest have so few articles at all that a bit of work getting stubs and some structure where people can start seems necessary first. People find time to write about individual roads, but we dont even have 2 coherent sentences on [[Italian cuisine]].

If only people spent more time reducing the backlog on requested articles. Those wouldn't be half as controversial as roads and schools and help to improve the coverage of Wikipedia. It's not as if they're writing what they know about anyway, or those road articles would be near FA instead of stubs.

Ahh! But you ignore the fact that reducing the backlog of requested articles, or other kinds of cleanup, requires _hard work_. It's so much more energy efficient to routinely type in "Delete nn", and cast an occasional vote here and there.
For some people dealing with what they don't know about is the total extent of what they know.

Same amount of effort to type in keep. And of course then zero responcibilty for dealing with the result.

This of course applies to both sides.

At least keeping gives the benefit of the doubt to the original writer.
