From my page:
Rescued from the Votes for deletion death row:
Arts and Crafts Movement, Mouthpiece, Ununennium, which led to boilerplate entries on the rest of the undiscovered Unun elements, which were immediately hopped up by Vicki Rosenzweig; Camp; Undocumented feature
To me, the votes for deletion page is a constrained Recent Changes, where I am reminded of things I might contribute on, but would not have thought of on my own. Every one of these was a really poor stub. Every one is now a pretty good stub. I call that progress. But they wouldn't be there at all if I hadn't been prompted by the Votes for Deletion page.
I think that's why we have [[Wikipedia:Find or fix a stub]].
Maybe we need a [[Wikipedia:Wretched stubs that someone would delete if there weren't other people who want to protect all stubs, no matter how poor, from the vicious axe of erasure, so you bleeding hearts better fix these stubs fast, all right?]]
