[WikiEN-l] Undeletion policy

Thu Sep 15 23:57:38 UTC 2005

There is a serious problem with undeletion policy, rendering it incompatible 
with other Wikipedia policies.

Firstly undeletion requires a majority (50%). Wikipedia is not a democracy, 
we should do changes by consensus.

Secondly the undeletion policy is inconsistent with deletion policy. The 
main principle of deletion policy is "if in doubt, don't delete". It follows 
that a consensus should be required to keep a page deleted.
