Wikipedia suffers more from an incorrect deletion than from an
incorrect keep. Sort of how society suffers more from the execution of
an innocent person than the incorrect non-execution of a guilty one.

More specifically: Wikipedia suffers from having vast numbers of crap
articles. It doesn't suffer a great deal from having a single crap
article, if that article is not a copyvio or libel.
