Wikipedia talk:Strict constructionist deletion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Um.. no. Consensus (or fiat) is what shapes policy, not strict construction and rulesmongering. I don't think this has wide acceptance at this time. ++Lar: t/c 04:54, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Em, deletion of "unencyclopedic" content does not improve Wikipedia's quality. How not? --Aoratos 07:56, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Laughable. Anything can be "justified" under WP:IAR ("ignore all rules" is pretty clear, even if the current text of this "nonpolicy" doesn't make it clear what IAR is really about). This essay essentially states that anything is deletable as long as the deleter is feeling sufficient confident about it. Whoop di doo. I am tempted to delete this essay (under IAR) because, in my opinion, it does not improve the encyclopedia. Kelly Martin (talk) 12:22, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
