I personally can't see why any article should be deleted unless it's obviously erroneous, its not like they're short of disk space. Obscure articles will likely remain as such, due to lack of references to them; deletion seems rather draconian.
As an aside I wonder if Wikipedia will ever be forked due to this apparent increasing bureaucracy.
- nopassrecover 17y agoIndeed the disk space argument is frivolous given the amount of discussion generated around deleting articles, besides which I wouldn't even be sure that articles are permanently deleted. This ignores the cost in time and morale to contributors.
- brazzy 17y agoI don't think anyone is arguing that articles need to be deleted because of concerns over disk space (even though if all criteria for inclusion were dropped, the number of useless articles would skyrocket). The real problem is the danger of relevant articles becoming lost between (and becoming filled with links to) the more numerous irrelevant ones.
