Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WMF noticeboard

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

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.
