The first was proposed on IRC by [[User:Lumenos]]; I think it is likely to cause trouble, hence my counter-proposal. [[Felix Pleşoianu]] | <small>[[User talk:Felix|talk]]</small> 03:35, 4 October 2009 (EDT)

:To be more accurate, I was proposing that you have a speedy delete policy that is connected to the [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=WikiIndex_talk:Blocking_Policy&direction=next&oldid=70264 block policy] for [[User:Lumenos/WikiIndex_%28unwritten%29_policies#Biographical_info|things like biographical information that is obtained in an "illegitimate" (or illegal) manner. Same with things like spam and copyrighted work.]] Beyond those basic ("common sense") rules, you might not need to forbid things like "[[User:Lumenos/WikiIndex_%28unwritten%29_policies#Bureaucrats|criticism]]", "original research", "unverified claims", etc, if these aren't contested. '''This is to address those who prefer NOT having "rules" that are "strict", "explicit", etc.''' I'm suggesting you need only get out the rule book when people [[User:Lumenos/WikiIndex_(unwritten)_policies#Felix|aren't being "nice"]]. But if you want a smoother ride, it might be easier to have a policy that [[User:Lumenos/WikiIndex_(unwritten)_policies#Criticism_of_wikis|wiki articles are to be always from a sympathetic viewpoint]], for example. This would probably be less controversial than allowing criticism. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 04:32, 23 June 2010 (EDT)
