[edit] Wikipedia:Reference desk

The desk has clearly outlived it's usefulness, and now provides dangerous medical advice that could very easily put the foundation in jeopardy. This project is clearly an embarrassment to the 'pedia, and now must either justify its existence or cease to exist. --anonymous 18:07, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Up for deletion:

Speedy Keep of course. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 18:10, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep. Ehhm. Michaelas10 (Talk) 18:18, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, not speedy. The reference desk has real problems, but they can be solved by building a consensus to deal with them sensibly. Dangerous medical advice can be removed on sight, and other problems are being dealt with more leisurly rate to allow compromise in place of force as much as possible. If people have a problem with how things are on the desk, they should become involved in this process; failing that, as a user involved in improving the desk for some months, I would love to get any feedback on how to proceed on my talk page or by email. -- SCZenz 18:19, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep. Nominator is a SPA who freely admits that their acount was created just for this MfD on their talk page, it's not obvious that the Ref Desk has outlived its usefulness, and a process used this heavily should be discussed somewhere other than MfD first before suggesting its deletion (and if there was such a discussion, please provide a link). --ais523 18:20, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
