It's not my job to seek out and destroy any who violates written policy. If, in fact, the written policy is not being followed because the consensus of the community is to ignore the written policy, then the written policy isn't actually policy, now, is it?
So, in other words, you'll selectively enforce whatever policies you feel like enforcing? If not, then what exactly *is* your job?
There obviously isn't a consensus in the community to ignore the written policy in this case, so that's irrelevant.
I'm certainly not going to try to impose, as an Arbitrator, my opinion
as to what deletion policy should be. That would be a gross abuse of power.
Well that's a good start, and it's really all that's necessary. You don't have to force the recreation by ruling, you just have to not sanction someone else who does.
