Do you Admins have your own private user area?  Maybe setup a deletion discussion area - maybe <tt>/deletion discussions</tt> - and create a sub-heading with a wikilink for each request.  Ideally, this should be done by an automated bot - but I know naff-all about them.  Anyway, this would maintain all discussions - even for those which are deleted.  Of course, this still wont stop differnces of opinion . . . . but I definately support the two-stage deletion, irrespective of weather it is a normal user or an Admin who makes the delete nomination. --[[User:Hoof Hearted|Hoof Hearted]] 12:22, 10 January 2012 (PST)

::::There is no admin area. Deletions are made as open as possible. As far as I remember, there were no lasting deletion disputes like in WP. --[[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 13:14, 10 January 2012 (PST)
::I honestly haven't seen where an Admin has deleted a page out of spite or other personal concerns. Yes there have been some errors *raises hand* but other Admins have corrected those mistakes as needed. As for the bot and so on, I'll leave that discussion for Admin that have a better handle on that sort of thing as I can't answer to those ideas in an intelligent way. As for my personal opinion, if I see a tag of delete, I normally will check for spam links and so on, then what the subject is about, and then if the page meets WikiIndex's stated purpose. If it passes all of those points, then I remove the tag. If not, then I would delete it. Now, with the added antispam measures of late, we haven't been hit so much over the last while thankfully, so what we seem to be dealing with is past spam more than anything else with regards to deletions. That being said, I will agree that a two vote to delete system would be okay, but I think that if it is just a nominate, then first Admin to see removes, that might not accomplish anything of value as, really, it's what we have now more or less. Much to ponder... [[User:TeraS|TeraS]] 12:59, 10 January 2012 (PST)

Wonderful. I expected a discussion like this. Now let's wait a little (for objections) and then add this simple rule to [[WikiIndex:Deleting pages|our ''deleting policy'' page]]... Best, [[Wolf Peuker|Wolf]] | <small>[[User talk:Peu|talk]]</small> 13:11, 10 January 2012 (PST)
