Again, I find it amazing that we have no policy on this. The deletion
process cannot be fixed until we agree on the most basic criteria for
deletion. We're supposed to delete pages that "will simply will never
become encyclopedia articles", yet we have no basic agreement about what
this means.
Thank you, Alex. I couldn't agree more; the process can't possibly get
fixed until we agree in general terms on what should be deleted and what
should be kept.
