Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts (2nd nomination)

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 debate was Keep and reform by discussing at Wikipedia talk:Wikiquette alerts.

Note this nomination was originally listed as Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Wikipedia:Wikiquette_alerts on 2008-02-19, closed after about 14 hours and then relisted as a separate discussion after a deletion review. It has now been discussed for an additional 8 days and both discussions were considered as well as comments made at the DRV to the extent not reflected here. The primary arguments in favor of deletion were that it is ineffective (some said even harmful), poorly watched, and a waste of time. The primary arguments in favor of keeping were that the process works sometimes and that's enough, that it can solve problems before an admin is required, and that it has problems but these should be dealt with by discussion at Wikipedia talk:Wikiquette alerts not by MfD; if discussion is unsuccessful in fixing the problems the community can decide to close the board and mark it historical, most likely after an RfC on the board's discussion page. Even if closed deletion of the board would be inappropriate. (non-admin closing) Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 05:28, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
