Ah ? Well, I disagree. Of course permanent deletions of personal essays can only occur after a consensus is reached about that, no ?
I agree with Anthere and strongly disagree with eliminating personal essays from meta. If POV material isn't allowed on meta then where should it go? This will only make it more difficult to keep this stuff out of the encyclopedias.
Meta can and should be many things. Simply create an alternate Main Page for whatever you want to focus on (software for example) and organize everything on that page and the pages linked from it in any way you wish. Heck even create another namespace if you really want to organize things, but I see no reason whatsoever why meta shouldn't be more like a regular wiki with a fairly undefined scope. What really is needed is more integration between topics discussed on the mailing lists and meta.
