Board Thread:General Discussion/@comment-28857013-20160108060003

Remember there was a project of cleaning up wiki conceptions, which some time later when users like me returned and complained about the deletion, ending up in the whole cancellation on the project PLUS the deletion system? ...Not me. Honestly, I don't really care about this wiki that much anymore, so I can't say these are exactly what happened.

Anyway, as the cleanup project failed, it was decided that deletion system are to be removed as well, since either way these "cleanup" will cause disagreements and huge debates. Well... at least that's what I think from what I've heard. But as some users are COMPLETELY unaware of this change (Some users says so, but the policy wasn't edited at all), and did so anyways. There aren't really any more deletions happening anymore anyway, because of the mass inactivity of most earlier users. Especially those (including me) who have been more concerned about the quality of conceptions.

This wasn't a problem until just a few hours ago, when Tasty finally edited the policies to remove the deletion system. This is again unannounced outside the Skype chat, and no proper discussion was given, while some users are already disagreeing on the idea when this action were taken. So I guess this should be put on official discussion first, before deciding to actually drop this system or not.

Reasons to:

Keep
 * The wiki needs a way to clean up poor conceptions, especially when improvements are not possible due to:
 * Inactivity of the author AND no users willing to adopt the conception
 * The author having no intention on fixing the conception
 * The base idea itself is a poor enough concept
 * There is no real need to remove the deletion system, plus the fact that this kind of system is one of the basic policies on almost all wikis.

Delete
 * This is a free wiki. Users have their right to their ideas and should be kept regardless of quality.

My Opinion: Personally this system shouldn't really be removed, but if necessary, there should be instead changes to the system so that they are not as abusive. This includes restrictions on when to propose a deletion (If the conception shows little to no efforts to create, only for merit or is intentionally written poorly, not if the conception is too OP). Sure, this is a free wiki and all, but sometimes there are those conceptions that are literally made just for the sake of having a conception, and for these conceptions, while is common among new users, doesn't mean that we can uptake an influx of it and end up with a huge fraction of our conceptions being nearly the same idea.
