This poll on an amendment to the deletion policy: has become a bit of a mess, due to my slightly unfortunate choice of words when I opened the poll. I have now added a statement acknowledging the problems but I have requested that the poll results be respected despite the (arguably not major) insufficiencies. However I feel that any further steps towards codifying the proposed rule might be frowned upon if I take them. I would like to ask our admins to help I would like to request that an admin (preferably a few admins) look at the situation and see if it can be sorted out without a repeat poll. I don't think a repeat poll is a good idea because with every poll there will be deviating preferences and minor criticisms. I feel that if that were enough to invalidate a poll then every poll would have to be invalidated and we could never make any decision. We'd end up holding polls on whether we can accept a poll on whether we can accept a poll. Again, I'd like to ask for some "old hands" (admins) to please look at things and provide some guidance and leadership as regards this issue. -- ropers [[en:User:Ropers]] www.ropersonline.com
