Ignore all uses of "ignore all rules"
As pointed out some time ago, the title makes no sense. How does one ignore the use of a rule? PSWG1920 (talk) 03:10, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks like a deliberate play on words to me. And last time I recall, use of a light-hearted title in itself was not a criterion for deletion. Keep, unless you can find a more reasonable rationale for deletion. Grutness...wha?  04:37, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I probably wouldn't have nominated it for deletion if the essay itself had been easier to follow. I thought there was one good point therein, namely "The vast majority of times, rules should not be ignored". Perhaps the page could be rewritten around that, if such an essay does not already exist.

 * Keep - it's an essay. --B (talk) 05:24, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - it's a user essay, however brief it may be. I see no reason to delete it.  --Eastlaw (talk) 06:28, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not a "user essay", it's a mainspace essay. However, I see now that this was ill-considered on my part, and I've attempted to improve the essay instead. Motion to delete is withdrawn (though as short as it is, it seems like it should either be expanded or merged with something else.) PSWG1920 (talk) 07:03, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
