This discussion was subject to a deletion review on 2013 February 12. For an explanation of the process, see Wikipedia:Deletion review. |
The result of the discussion was No consensus - the headcount is tilted towards deletion (almost 2:1, if I've counted correctly). That said, the arguments for deletion are among the weakest I've ever seen "There wasn't a consensus to create this" is basically a non-argument for a noticeboard (or really anything, apart from perhaps a formal, binding, mandatory process). The only other real delete argument I see boils down to more or less "I wouldn't find this useful, because I prefer some other forum (or fora)", which isn't much of an argument. There are a lot of things I don't find useful, but I wouldn't suggest we delete all Wikiprojects, say. (Or all categories, for that matter). Conversely, the keep argument "I find this a better way to keep up to date on foundation issues than other possibilities" has a bit of merit, and if there's an argument for why we should be dickish to those editors who find this the best forum for them, I don't see it.
