Non-merit attacks
Is unnecessary. We already have WP:NPA. This is just a list of things that might be discriminatory. WP:NPA also contains a similar list. This seems like instruction creep. -N 02:48, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, it was thoroughly rejected, and as it had no significant discussion other than people saying it was redundant to WP:NPA, is not useful for archival purposes. --tjstrf talk 02:49, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Tag as rejected, it's not usual to delete proposed policies. 86.137.60.14 11:22, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Tag as rejected for historical purposes, and per usual practice. This is a completely pointless page, as the nominator points out - personal attacks are already covered under WP:NPA, WP:CIVIL and WP:HARASS, and as I've pointed out elsewhere, we don't need policies expressly prohibiting racism, sexism, homophobia etc. Wikipedia editors are entitled to hold opinions of that sort; it's only if they expressly attack other editors that it becomes an NPA issue.

 * Historical per all above reasons, and we don't normally delete proposals. WooyiTalk to me? 14:44, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't really care - No need to delete it, but it's not independent policy either. Shalom Hello 16:19, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Tag as rejected as argued above; no harm if it gathers dust in a lonely categorical cellar. Grace notes T § 17:33, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Tag rejected redundant to several other policies, but I can't see any reason to delete it. --Hut 8.5 18:45, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Tag with rejected. Qst 20:34, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
