[WikiEN-l] AFD courtesy problem

Tue Jan 17 22:16:23 UTC 2006

I don't see the need to delete debates and as noted before, it would cause
problems when linking to earlier debates. And it would be harder for newbies
to figure out why "their" article was deleted. The whole point of archiving
the debate is to keep it accessible for people within Wikipedia (including
non-admins).

We should just make sure AFD debates are kept out of google. If we adjust
robots.txt or whatever we need to adjust to manipulate Google bots, we don't
even need to anymore.
