That isn't a very nice way to talk about inclusionists.
You're confusing DRV with VfU. VfU was the very nice page we used to have where deletions could be contested. DRV is what happened when the deletionists got mad that VFU was being used to give articles a "second chance," and so they overwhelmed all sense and made it so that you couldn't undelete an article on the grounds that the outcome was idiotic.
Ah no. VFU was traditionaly controled by process wonks who largely managed to keep the deletionist/inclusionist wars elsewhere. The inclusionists were understandible upset that from time to time a school would somehow get deleted. Eventualy they managed to get together in large enough numbers to start deletion wars on VfU although haveing to deal with the problem that they needed more than a majority to get their way did slow them down. About this time the use of wikipedia newspeak became manditory and the title was changed to DRV. Thus we have today.
Isn't revisionist history fun?
