Yes, one remedy is for even-handed people to join these drives, and not leave them solely in the hands of those wishing to delete as much as possible as quickly as possible. But it will take a lot of us, and the sensible people are usually fully occupied otherwise.

On this subject, when I went over to the page for this deletion drive I found a note that all of the articles beginning with Y that were tagged as unreferenced for a given month were either fixed or put on {{prod}}.
I looked at them, and removed the {{prod}} tag from articles that seemed to be claiming to have some notability. Of those, three subsequently got referenced, one got taken to AfD (deservedly), and one is still unreferenced.
Which goes to the heart of my problems with drives like this - they are careless and irresponsible, and make bad decisions that break as much as they fix.
