Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Community bulletin board

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the discussion was: speedy keep. MfD is not the place to discuss high-profile changes to the Community portal. That should be done at the relevant talk page or the Village Pump, and pages brought here only if/when it is decided they will no longer be used. RL0919 (talk) 19:29, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Community bulletin board


Thanks to the BOLD efforts of User:Moxy, this is no longer part of the Community portal, and I don't think it can survive on its own, because the only two parts that anyone looked at (the Signpost and CENT) have been moved to different parts of the CP.

Keep – the revamp of the Community Portal needs to be discussed before implementation -- the Community Bulletin Board has been on there over 12 years -- removing it out of the blue without discussion is disruptive. Those changes have been reverted, per WP:BRD. Even if it is removed from the Community Portal, which it shouldn't be, the Community Bulletin Board has a long history on Wikipedia, with many substantial postings over the years, and therefore should be marked historical rather than make it inaccessible. But, Wikipedia needs a place where editors can place notices for immediate viewing, something that the Signpost is not. It has provided this function since 2006. We should definitely keep the Community Bulletin Board. &mdash; The Transhumanist  06:39, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep my intent was not to have this page deleted...but simply not transclude on the community bulletin board. I have no problem talking about the personal bulletin board on the community board at all at the community portal. --Moxy (talk) 06:54, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep and keep it transcluded on the Community portal (half a million monthly pageviews), without which it has little visibility. Valuable as pointing editors at current centres of activity – but let's clear out dusty old items Bhunacat10 (talk),  12:53, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
