There's nothing wrong with deleting articles, as long as attempts have been made to clean them up, or solve their problem some other way. A lot of articles that are nominated for deletion can be rescued by renaming, merging or simply adding a line to claim notability.
Observing that would cut down the arguing.
I'm not trying to step on the toes of the editors involved in this, but take for example the article on Michael Perham who became the youngest sailor to cross the Atlantic. That's clearly notable, but the article was deleted because it stated "he was believed to become the youngest person to cross the Atlantic".
The youngest verifiable person to cross the Atlantic was probably a baby during early colonial days. ;-)
Did they do it solo, unassisted, etc? Please, stop trolling.
