Support[edit]

The proposal because I see such cases happening at the music related biographies. There we strive for betterment and hence this guideline would support our job better. In the music bios, normally personal life sections and are made a part of the main career of the artist in consideration, to eradicate any gossip-beds, which these sections eventually become. Hence having a similar treatment proposal really solidifies that effort. --Legolas (talk2me) 09:12, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dangerous[edit]

I think this is a rather dangerous essay. Not only does it appear to directly contradict WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and Wikipedia:OTHERSTUFF#What_about_article_x.3F. It also goes by the assumption that deletion discussions should be decided on some meta-argument (existence or non-deletion of other articles).

While it is fine in a discussion to point out the consensus that has been reached in similar cases, that shouldn't substitute a discussion of the merits of the current article. In general, I feel that deletion discussions should try to get input on the case itself, rather than turn to some meta-arguments like "I like it" or "it has been done so in XXX". This essay advises the contrary. Averell (talk) 17:02, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's an extremely pointy essay. Bun then again, no doubt other pointy essays exist ...   pablohablo. 16:13, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Essays which are contrary to community norms are still permitted; this is certainly one of them, but there's nothing wrong with that. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 10:58, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose[edit]

Would lead to inertia and systematic bias. If similar things occur then they can with consensus be added to one of the various guidelines. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 23:05, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
