As one of the inclusionists willing to compromise on this issue, I
object to that.  There were plenty enough people in the middle for a
compromise to work.  The rhetoric from the extremist-seeming
deletionists sunk the various compromise attempts time and time again.

We'd have long-had a standard that if you can't write a good article,
you merge it into a city/town/school district article by now if you
all hadn't polarized it so much.  That compromise came under far more
attack from the deletionists than the inclusionists.
