Like I said, a lot of these deletions are dead on, but we're also losing a lot of categories that were realistically usable. Should some be taken to DRV? Should a kind of "rationale" page be created to help avoid confusion? Are any of these categories realistically being used for social networking, or are we overreacting? Are babies in lurking in the bath water? Is it bath water in the first place? Green or yellow? Up or down? Paper or plastic?
It's A Tricky One. The trouble is when the fine line between "useful for encyclopedic collaboration" and "social networking at best, POV-pushing list at worst" is way too blurry.
I'm mindful of the de:wp answer, which was to allow *only* languages and location in userboxes.
