Your concerns are that you might click on a blue link to a talkpage with no discussion, right? I don't see a whole lot of merit to that, frankly, and I think sometimes MZMcbride likes to bump up his deletion stats and find a use for his scripts. I can't see any other good reason for deleting these pages - it doesn't save any space, they're stored anyway. I'd rather have a talkpage with some instructions and some format than nothing at all, through my unscientific belief that a new editor is more likely to add to a page that already exists than create one that doesn't.

There is a discussion on WP:AN about this [1] which has incidentally spilled over onto my talk page. No I'm not canvassing or asking anybody to comment there, but I'd just like some personal feedback, so I can at least figure out whether I've gone completely nuts or if the concerns I've raised have some degree of merit.
