So, the cause
is ... you don't need a driving licence to use the Internet? Or the open editing
policy that has driven WP's success? Both are 'causes'.
The cause is a very low bar to article creation, and very little
guidance as you create the article as to what we are actually
looking for.
I think there is some nostalgia here for the days when it was all
just fields. we now have over 2,000,000 articles, many of them not
on Pokemon. Well, some, anyway.
But I think you are misunderstanding my point. Speedy deletion
addresses a symptom, I would rather address the cause, for example
by helping those new editors who are documenting something other
than their garage band, to write something half decent.
"Thread" is too strong a word, really - "stream of consciousness"?
Well, I would like the filtering to be better, even if slightly less aggressive. You are
not going to get the people who create most of the total rubbish to read any
instructions.
