If you read carefully, you'll see that I'm not arguing for the deletion of stubs. I'm arguing against the creation of the "deletionist" identity. Deleting a stub article is an action. If the action of deleting stubs is making Wikipedia worse rather than better, then the policy needs to change. We don't need a campaign of shame and a witch hunt for "deletionists".

It is and it does.

Given the lack of official action against what are widely perceived as abusive trolls, I think a shaming campaign is inevitable.

Watch it work so well, just like every other identitarian shame campaign.
