Forum:Changing the deletion policy

Hi, this is Slicer. Forgot the email to the last account, so back on this one now.

I wrote some of the policy a while back, in an obsessive effort to organize and homogenize this hodgepodge of a wiki. In retrospect it seems the stub/wikification rules (which currently require improvements to a page within two weeks, or else it'll be deleted) were a bit too harsh.

This is an argument I made over a year ago, and the situation doesn't seem to have changed. Special:Log/delete is still filled with short pages deleted just because they're short. I think it would be better to instead move WIP pages off the mainspace to user subpages and combine short ones with larger pages (say, "Toa Eton" with "List of Toa").

The rationale is that constantly deleting pages not only has the potential to drive off new members and create more ugly redlinks, but also contributes do a destructive atmosphere. What do y'all think about this?
