I do not buy this argument.

It's quite clear that deleting articles about, say, individual Will and
Grace episodes or minor Battlestar Galactica characters will not make those
articles' editors go "oh well, you're right, guess Ill go and improve the
New South Wales Railway Crossings articles". You're just turning those
editors away.
