[edit] Fancruft

This article is often used to justify deleting many anime/manga related pages that are disliked, with many votes for deletion being "delete, fancruft". It is being treated as a guideline and a rule when it is not and due to it many things that should be improved rather than deleted are removed. On top of that, fancruft itself is a weasel word.

• Comment — shouldn't this be on MfD? — Deckiller 05:06, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Well, linked article is an article, but that's not what he's talking about. Either way, Speedy keep - the way to change policy is not by just nominating the ones you don't like for deletion. -Goldom ‽‽‽ ⁂ 05:08, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Anyway, Speedy Keep — besides, this is an essay, not a policy. — Deckiller 05:10, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
