Template talk:Delete

Why does the discussion link to a page that is completely separated from the article in question? Deletion discussions should occur on the talk page associated to the deletion candidate so that it is easily available for future reference. -- Wynthyst talk 23:19, 3 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I think it's good to have a central place for discussion, because A) it allows administrators to easily check whether any pages need deleting, B) it gives discussion concerning an article that's not visited much more visibility, and C) it prevents the discussion from errantly being deleted along with the page. Wikipedia also has an articles for deletion. Note that I moved the Talk:Melee discussion to Articles for deletion before I saw you'd opened this discussion, sorry about that.

 * Well, you are thinking wrong. Now that the history is all muddled, and you have added previously "archived" discussions, it's rather a mess. Any discussion regarding page content belongs on the associated talk page. If that page ends up being deleted, so does the talk page, and if it is ever determined to restore, all history will be maintained. Please do not undo my changes in the future until further discussion with either me or Rasputiny. Thanks I will be moving things back the way they should be. IF you as a community administrator are unable to use your watchlist to easily access pages like the category pending deletion that are required for you to perform your duties, I would recommend you create links on your userpage to facilitate access. Having a separate project page for deletion discussions is pointless. -- Wynthyst [[Image:User Wynthyst sig icon.png|19px ]] talk 22:58, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I respectfully disagree, but I'll defer to majority opinion in this case. I'll be sure to seek more discussion on discussion in the future. However, I do expect the same from you and Rasputiny. We seem to have gotten off on the wrong foot, and that's unfortunate. I hope all of us will be able to be more level-headed in the future. PaxMeridia (talk) 03:09, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
