There is a big
difference between a quality warning and a spoiler warning.
Yeah, spoiler warnings are easy to delete by not-technically-but-pretty-much-
automated methods.
Wasn't one of the rationales for taking out spoiler warnings that it was
original research to decide that something is a spoiler? Wouldn't it be
original research to determine something's quality too?
That's not a rationale I heard. Most people seemed to be arguing in
terms of it being unencyclopaedic. I think the key difference is that
a spoiler warning is permanent, a quality warning is temporary and
just shows that an article is a work-in-progress.
