Overapplication of WP:IAR

The intention of the policy is to prevent people from wikilawyering over strict interpretations of what policy says, to the detriment of the encyclopedia. However, more recently, it has been treated as carte blanche to do whatever you please if you think it improves the encyclopedia. If it were only new, unexperienced, editors that did this, it would not be a problem, since they can be reverted easily. But it's not. A significant number of our active admins are ready to delete things, either against consensus or without a discussion to establish consensus, because they believe that deletion will improve the encyclopedia. And when this happens, you have to spend 5 days at DRV getting it overturned, because reverting an admin action, no matter how absurd, is actionable as wheel warring.
