Reduce confusion by following policy
Superfluous. Contains no useful information. Belicia (talk) 05:46, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge with Process is important. Chubbles (talk) 06:07, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's a rational and clear-minded essay, and if all Wikipedians followed it, this place might run much more smoothly. In many ways it's superior to Process is important, although it makes much the same point. WaltonOne 19:47, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Even as I share, as ever, Walton's views about the issue the essay raises, I can't say that I find this to be superior to PII; by my very nature I simply can't endorse brevity. Nevertheless, even if this is to be understood as essentially duplicative in content of PII (of which I'm not positive that it is), it is, of course, not so in form or clarity, and we need not be quite as concerned about redundancies amongst essays in project space&mdash;for the creation of which we do, after all, maintain relatively loose guidelines&mdash;as about redundancies in mainspace.

 * Keep - What Links Here] shows that it has enough importance. -- Jreferee    t / c  08:22, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Perfectly reasonable essay, and promotes a view which I think we ought to follow more often than we do. Agree with Walton. Sjakkalle (Check!)  13:07, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Something that more users should be reading up on.  bibliomaniac 1  5  05:02, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep as an apparently valid essay; "point not fully realized" does not necessarily equate to "point not worth making at all." Merging might be okay, but I'm not entirely convinced these two pages are redundant. I could go into whether I agree with the essay, but it doesn't seem relevant, here. – Luna Santin  (talk) 11:55, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - valid essay, nom statement that it contains no useful information is not accurate, or at least no more accurate than the same said about many or most essays. Herostratus (talk) 17:16, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
