While I can agree that one change in policy isn't going to repair the wiki's reputation, I don't quite agree with just scrapping some of the rules either, nor do I say we should go haphazardly go around deleting articles that we feel are sub-par. However, I have seen articles that are not at all designed to be an attempt at being creative, but not quite professional, but rather just pure waste of space. For example:

There was one article (now removed, apparently) called "Not Sonic the Hedgehog" which was supposedly about a twin brother of Sonic's who's name was "Not Sonic". Secondly, his "epic battles" against Sonic and Eggman were basically just "Not Sonic" telling them to flip off and giving them the finger, and then said canon characters were "sad and went away". Seriously? That sounds like a troll article more than anything else.

Now, I think you're talking about honest attempts by users at being creative for fun, but their article doesn't meet up with standards and is then marked for "policy breaking". And you'd be right about that being a little harsh and ridiculous. But shouldn't we have a little pride in keeping the wiki as organized and not chaotic as humanly possible? Surely there MUST be a way to retain our dignity and enforce rules that are designed to keep order to the wiki WITHOUT hampering, impairing, or otherwise get in the way of a user trying to be creative and imaginative all for fun's sake. Right?
