G'day Jay,
From: Tony Sidaway f.crdfa@gmail.com Absolutely not. When we decide that the forum dedicated to undeleting articles should not undelete articles?
VfU does undelete articles, regularly. What you are arguing about are what VfU should consider as valid rationales for undeletion. Until now its mandate has been to undelete (or not) based on process - in other words, an appeals court; you would like to expand that to include undeletions based on content.
Worl, "appeals court" is pretty slim. I don't think we *need* an appeals court on Wikipedia, frankly. Not unless instruction creep becomes a lot creepier ...
I know I've had to change my vote from "delete" to "keep" (or, on one memorable occasion, "merge with existing article on this person") from time-to-time. Not often, it's true, but often enough, as an article is rewritten, or new information slinks out from under the bed. What happens if this information pops up a few days and/or weeks too late for me to change my vote? For everyone to change their votes?
It's time for undeletion then, innit?
Cheers,
