keeping unencyclopedic ones hurts Wikipedia too.
Does it? How?
It reduces the credibility of the project.

I would rather have an encyclopedia that has a truly staggering amount of
information but that some people dismiss because it has some silly
articles than a well-respected but heavily incomplete encyclopedia. If I
wanted that, I'd just go to Britannica.
The issue isn't just silly articles; that said things like our Ashlee
Simpson coverage have already been the subject of public ridicule, and those
articles are some of our best written trivia.
