Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Time management




 * 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  Keep. It's labeled as an opinion piece, so soapboxing wouldn't apply. The other deletion arguments are weak, the keeps point to lack of policy-based reason to delete or feel it's a valid essay. delldot  &nabla;.  15:24, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Time management
A rather dubious essay by vanished user. No significant involvement of other wikipedians. I don't think wikipedia shoul be a repository of all possible rants about wikipedia. - Altenmann >t 23:48, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep It does include some things that some people might disagree with, however essays do include a disclaimer. Normally in a case like this we might userify, but since the user has exercised the right to vanish, I think we should just keep this.  Essays don't need to reflect consensus.

 * It was actually in the user space, but before vanishing it decided to litter the wikipedia space with it. Yes, essays don't need consensus, but wikipedia is not a soapbox. Essays by respected wikipedians or groups of wikipedians go; random musings by abusive users are a no-go. - Altenmann >t 01:38, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Userfied or not, it's still a massive soapbox. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 02:10, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:SOAP doesn't apply to essays and opinions about wikipedia, open source, open culture, wikipedia processes, etc. Gigs (talk) 16:15, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, I see. - Altenmann >t 20:13, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Valid essay, and good opinion related to wikipedia.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:19, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Validity of the essay as an issue does not count. What matters is that it violates no policy at all. Nor does categorization of an editor as "abusive" have any bearing on whether his essay should be deleted.  I find no basis for deletion hence default to keep.
