Let's call it "Nopedia." 

It would contain no articles. 

The policy, "no point of view" would require no enforcement. 

It would satisfy inclusionists, because no articles would ever be deleted. 

It would satisfy deletionists, because it would contain no crap articles. 

It would satisfy the Wikipedia-whatever-it-is-for-Decency people because it 
would contain no obscene images. 

Jimbo Wales could be like the captain of the Snark, who

"had bought a large map representing the sea,
Without the least vestige of land:
And the crew were much pleased when they found it to be
A map they could all understand....
'Other maps are such shapes, with their islands and capes!
But we've got our brave Captain to thank
(So the crew would protest) that he's bought us the best--
A perfect and absolute blank!'"
