Notes regarding pages tagged for deletion

Just for one place to put all these. Please chip in with opinions. I will remove bullet points as they are resolved.

support deletion of Expensive, keep Bill Gates -- relet 08:00, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Against Bill Gates. It's humor. Expensive can go though. -- Wmcduff 12:30, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
I say keep expensive as a way of recording unusually expensive adventures mykaDragonBlue [- i have no sig -] 01:48, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
Keep Bill Gates, because it makes for a good laugh (and well illustrates the impossibility of cheating the algorithm which is doubted by almost everyone once in a while). "Expensive" was supposed to be turned into a "subjective" achievement, a task that's more served by the gratutious ribbons nowadays. I don't like to think of this as a regular achievement but would like to keep the ribbon available. --Ekorren 08:54, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
Definitely keep Bill Gates. It's beautifully developed, funny, and what Ekorren said about impossbility. Who/when was it proposed for deletion? I'm quite surprised. -Robyn 18:38, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
It wasn't - I just thought it was silly. But I'm outvoted, so it stays. --joannac 23:39, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
  • All the old expedition pages with various levels of detail. We need to decide which to delete, and which to keep (and remove delete tags from)
IMHO all that is either a) replaced by a correct page or b) expedition planning (unless it is very elaborate and worth reading) -- relet 08:00, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
See also discussion here
I find the fact that someone once started to plan an expedition in a graticule where I am interesting, if it's the only activity for that graticule. The catalogues of "point was here, no one went" can definitely go. -Robyn 18:38, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
Probably. And All Graticules should be All graticules. I just didn't dare to move them, because someone else's code relies on them. -- relet 08:30, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
Set up a redirect, at least, if the code can't be changed. -- Benjw 11:34, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
I much prefer it Main Page. Wikipedia, from where we copied our naming conventions uses Main Page, so so can we. I wouldn't object at all to All graticules, if it doesn't bother Zigdon's code. -Robyn 18:38, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
All_Graticules is regularily read by at least three external applications. But as long as there is a redirect, they should get served the correct page through the redirect anyway. And even if that won't work for all of them, it would be work for half a minute each to fix up the applications. --Ekorren 20:19, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
Actually, I just noticed the icon links to Main Page (capital P). So I don't think we should change it unless we can change that too. --joannac 23:39, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Will add more as I discover them. --joannac 01:48, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
