Why does anything even have to be deleted at all? It just doesn't seem very nice or necessary to delete something that people actually worked on. Also, sometimes people mention things about copyrights, and I know people aren't supposed to edit each other's articles. Well, if people's pages are their copyright, and no one else is supposed to edit them, then why does anyone have the right to delete them?! Even if they're the worst things ever, if the owner doesn't want them to be deleted, they shouldn't be deleted! The only thing I think could be legitimately deleted without the owner's request would be obvious spam. If necessary, then instead of deleting pages with enough requests, those pages should just get some kind of template warning people about the page's problems (which is sort of like what Wikipedia does with some articles), or be added to some kind of special category.

Overall, for the reasons I said above, I think the policies should be changed so that the only cases in which articles can be deleted are by the owner's request or when there is obvious spam. No matter how many "requests" something gets, it shouldn't be deleted. Would anyone else support that?
