It's the Internet! Why delete any articles, ever!? It's not like Wikipedia is running out of database space or something. It's dumb to have a subjective "notability" standard at all in a world of practically infinite scale.

It's called signal to noise. All content is not good content and serves to make the good content hard to find. Deletion is necessary.
