If it's garbage delete it.
Full stop.
Deleting a pitiful little stub that contains no useful content is NOT vandalism, and I defend my right and Mav's right and anyone else's right to do it.
I fully sympathize with this view, Karen (though I think it'd be better to just display contentless pages as new pages, preserving their histories). To accuse anybody of vandalism over this issue is seriously overblown. Mav deserves a lot of more respect than he's been given here, and (maybe this won't be surprising) I can relate to his frustration. He's trying to do some *good*, and to maintain *standards*. To accuse him of vandalism for this behavior is a perfect example of the sort of inversion of values that this society often suffers, and is just totally, needlessly provocative and combative. Trying to maintain standards is a good thing, not a bad thing; even if you disagree with his methods, there's no reason not to do so kindly.
