Please, I ask you, if you want to delete a page, show some simple courtesy, as set out in the guidelines.
1) List page on Votes for deletion. 2) Wait.
Several of you have stopped doing this on a regular basis.
Most of the time the deletion decisions themselves are unassailable. However:
* 15:01 Sep 26, 2002 Jheijmans deleted "Organizational structure of Jehovah's Witnesses" (created today, but then cleared because not needed)
The JW pages are in the process of being edited. The deletion of this page was entirely inappropriate.
* 14:56 Sep 26, 2002 Jheijmans deleted "Talk:Knocking her dead one on the nose each and every double trey" (talk of removed page) * 14:56 Sep 26, 2002 Jheijmans deleted "Talk:Gamefoolz" (talk of removed page)
Both Talks were of real interest, from a meta perspective. They should have been moved to meta, or moved to the Wikipedia:Historical Wikipedia pages space. Or at least so the argument goes. An argument/move which I was unable to make, since they were deleted summarily.
I have trouble with the idea that people who are incapable of respecting the uncomplicated and clear deletion policy, after having been reminded of the basic procedures, should be allowed to delete pages.
Of course, if there were soft deletes, this wouldn't be an issue.
