I suggest "Delete anything that makes you uncomfortable."
While Cunctator and I probably see eye-to-eye on the matter of inclusionism versus deletionism, I think that this response doesn't really take into account the serious reasons why people did want this article gone, reasons that had nothing to do with being uncomfortable with the subject matter.
The problem is that this article had no legitimate sources, not even close, and after a long period of time, no one was able to come up with any, since there really are not any. There is no way to write a proper article because there is no way to find out the truth in a way that is reliable.
There is a curious sort of backlash in many cases when the subject matter *is* a bit uncomfortable. If this was some obscure blog of the same general stature, it would have been deleted without a peep. But because we are sooooo terrified that we might actually delete something for the wrong reason, we end up keeping stuff for the wrong reason.
"This group is offensive and stupid and juvenile" is not a good reason to delete anything, I agree 100%.
But, it is also not a good reason to keep anything.
It's all about whether we can write a proper article with reliable third party sources and no original research.
