I see no problem with transparency. Transparency doesn't mean that we are in any way required to carry every little snippet of non-notable discussion on things forever. If there's ever any reason anyone needs to look at it, then they can look at it.
and 2. linking to prior AfD debates if the page is nominated again.
What I'm suggesting is that we keep a page there, noting the existence of a prior AfD debate, so that we can quickly yank that back into public view if there's a good reason.
The point is: the problem isn't google indexing (though of course that's a start), the problem is us retaining pages that hurt innocent people's feelings for no reason. I see no compelling argument for this.
If anyone ever accuses us for lack of transparency for doing this, my mind will boggle. SEKRET CABAL COVERS TRACKS?
