Don't delete, expand!
Instead of marking important articles for deletion, mark them as stubs, and start expanding the content. — yngwin 09:25, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * If for 6 months the author and nobody else expands the article, i think it's better for the wiki to delete the article. The wiki is no link farm for other sites.
 * Also the marking gives the article some time, where someone can step up. And even after the deletion everybody can recreate the article. Astaecker 09:47, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * True. I agree that our wiki is no link farm. But better than deleting the article, is making a start to expand it into something useful. That way we will make our wiki more succesful.
 * At least, that's what I'm trying. And I hope others will join the effort... — yngwin (wiki admin) 10:00, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
 * That's my goal, too. I work on the articles I'm interested in. Maintaince work on other articles is also OK. But this article (just a link) shouldn't be created in the first place. And for 6 months nobody stepped up to expand it. So I'm for deleting such articles.
 * Your additions changes the situation a bit. There's still not a lot information in the article itself, but I can the external resources are helpful, I guess.

 * Understood. Actually, when it's only a link to an external resource, I think we can simply remove the page. No need for a notice and one month waiting period — it's not like the author put any real work in it.
 * But when I come across such cases, as here (and it seems it could become a useful article), then I first look if I can start expanding it. — yngwin (wiki admin) 10:31, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
