Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/S&P Municipal Bond Index

Procedural question
Can the talkpage of this article be kept even if there is consensus to delete (or redirect) the article itself ?

I am asking because while this discussion is proceeding with little attention from the rest of the community, I am involved in a chain of reversions on the page itself because  a category that is crucial to this discussion is being repeatedly    removed  from the article by an editor who is a self-proclaimed expert in wikipedia categorization.

The discussion about these reversions is taking place on the talk-page of this article but I am reluctant to continue participating in it, because it may soon be deleted together with this article. However, since I do not want to be accused of edit warring,  I  am caught between a rock and a hard place because of wp:3RR rules.

Note: This is an important discussion that I wish I could devote more time to. Unfortunately, in addition to work I normally carry on adding content, I must divide my time trying to  keep  seven different  articles which I created that have all been nominated for deletion in the last couple of days. I therefore apologize in advance if I seem to not be paying enough attention to this particular discussion which is important to me. XOttawahitech (talk) 15:56, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Copy and paste the discussion to your own talkpage and ask the other user to continue the discussion there if you're worried it will be lost. (Mention that you are doing so to avoid copyright concerns if people are looking to be problematic.) My assumption is that neither the article or talkpage will be deleted based on this discussion. A redirected talkpage will maintain it's history. --Onorem (talk) 16:12, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the suggestion, but I like to keep my talkpage for items that concern me personally, not items that are of public interest. XOttawahitech (talk) 11:28, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Continuation of Another procedural question
No, I don't agree with you. There are lots of editors who are participating almost exclusively in  deletion discussions, and not  working on  articles. If those editors were to work on articles instead, you would not be able to say that  we have too many articles, and not enough editors. Just my $.02.
