 | This page in a nutshell: This page provides opinion regarding article and content deletion on English Wikipedia |
There are many valid reasons for deletion, but at times, Wikipedia users may be a bit too eager or hasty to delete articles, content within articles, and other pages. This can create problems in terms of Wikipedia's accuracy as a whole, problems in the factual accuracy of content within individual articles, and even problems in other areas, such as when content on transcluded pages is deleted without first checking how it affects pages that the content is transcluded to!
