So you don't think that any articles need to be deleted (outside of candidates for speedy deletion), ever?
You have a logical fallacy implicit in that answer: that the only deletion mechanism possible is the one we've got. Surely that can't be the case.
I reiterate my suggestion: suspend the deletion mechanism (keep CSD for our remaining sanity) for a month working out a deletion mechanism that won't drive people away, cause vicious infighting and lead to unhealable forks which can never be pulled back into Wikipedia. Two forks (the Star Trek and webcomics encyclopedias) is two too many.
Then I take it you support the removal of NPOV policy (or have you forgotten wikinfo?). That is after all the logical end point of your position.
I figure a month without it will REALLY FOCUS PEOPLE'S ATTENTION.

Or we could go the other way and turn all the VFD criteia into speedy critia which waould really focus the attention of the inclusionists.
