All right. The big deleters (Engels, Jheimens, Mav) have adopted a more
aggressive policy for deleting pages than the stated one (on
[[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion]] and [[Wikipedia:Policy on permanent
deletion of pages]]).

Primarily, they delete stubs.

We hashed this out once a while ago (see [[m:Kill the Stub Pages]],
[[Wikipedia:The perfect stub article]], [[Wikipedia:Find or fix a stub]])
and as you can see from the deletion policy, the consensus was that in the
face of disagreement/ambiguity, it was better to not delete stubs than to
delete them.

I'd like to ask people to stop deleting stubs until we discuss this again.

(See also [[User talk:Maveric49]] for a beginning debate.)
