I also agree with you that good quality articles being moved to another wiki won't help here much, which is why I'm all for checking through the articles before they get moved.

I should mention that I see an alternative to deleting all articles that don't get marked for keeping. This alternative is having everyone look through all of the articles, marking them, and then removing the ones that get marked as low-quality articles (or deleting the low-quality ones if they actually defy standards). However, I'm not sure which way makes more sense, or if there's a third way that I haven't seen that makes more sense than either way that I mentioned. You obviously haven't been around long enough to know how the previous attempts at cleaning up have gone. Just marking pages doesn't work. For every page we check and delete, two more garbage pages are created. The staff were never able to keep up, and with the lower number of them being active lately it's impossible.
