Do the flames of the old inclusionist/deletionist wars really need fanning?  

I worked out my position long ago: pretty much deletionist on the science side, for anything suspect; pretty much inclusionist in the humanities; pretty much indifferent as to pop culture where it really doesn't much matter one way or the other whether we have articles on soap actors or not.

On schools, they can be hacked back to stubs if they are full of unverifiable stuff, or, more likely, promotional material.
