We can solve the dilemma Cunctator mentioned with soft deletes of one sort or another. Problem #1: There are way too many micro-stubs and nonsense pages that have to be deleted. Problem #2: Once in a while, our hard-working Volunteer Deletion Crew accidentally deletes something that another contributor (like Cunctator) wishes they'd been able to look at before deletion. Solution A: Replace delete by a "soft delete" that erases the current text but keeps the article history. A link to the article shows the ?-mark (or red line) same as a hard delete. Solution B: Create a "marked for deletion" function, with a timer. A standard period of time after being marked, say, 24 hours, the software automatically deletes it -- unless someone removes it from the deletion queue. (Variation: any edit to a "marked" article automatically clears the "delete me" flag. Ed Poor
