Not that I'm surprised VfD is a nest of hornets. I've thought it a bad idea from the start.
It's also disturbing that pages that aren't offensive or illegal are being listed on VfD. There is *no need* to delete stub entries. We have methods of indicating them as stubs, which is much more constructive than simply deleting them.
Agreed. Very few of the pages listed have any particular reason to be deleted. I still believe an altogether moratorium on deletions for a period of time would do wonders. Making it so that blanked pages produced red links would probably help shoot down one of the arguments for deletion, as well.
