Is this sort of thing a net gain or a net loss for the encyclopedia? Thoughts appreciated.
The problem with deletion is the difficulty of keeping them when they're restarted, due to recreation worries and folks quick on the trigger. Truly, the best case scenario (and one I may start doing myself in the meantime) is to make it a point, when finishing discussions on such articles, to stub them to something readable and manageable. That way, the information is there to be expanded upon, and it doesn't look like a mess.
