:::::::(ec) I don't think the function of WikiIndex has been entirely figured out. Individual sysops seem to react to situations with little community oversight, and users don't seem to have much interest in codifying practices into policies that can be applied consistently. Maybe the reason is that there aren't consistent practices around here.
:::::::I can think of at least a few examples. The [[Research Psychologist]] article got deleted as a personal attack, but many other similar pages are kept, and no policy about attack pages was created. There still is no consensus about what to do about [[User:Manorainjan|Manorainjan]]'s incivility (he was blocked but kept coming back, and Sean seemed to be the only one trying to stop his block evasion; eventually he gave up), and no policy about civility was created. The [[BoyWiki]] article was deleted, but no policy on inclusion criteria has been established.
:::::::You've set forth a vision of what WikiIndex should and shouldn't be, but I don't see that being proposed as policy either. [[WikiIndex:About]] contains no such restrictions as what you set forth above. Also, theoretically, instead of deleting the content a second time, you were supposed to do a strikethrough, but I don't see people do that anywhere else in the wikisphere, and I've never seen that policy followed on this wiki either.
