Wikipedia:WP:V is not a suicide pact[edit]

Recently, a months-long, multiple hundred kilobyte discussion about the same topic this essay addresses took place at WT:V, and is yet unclosed. The emergent consensus there should override this outdated essay into oblivion. This ten-year-old essay does not aid in understanding either WP:V or WP:BLP, and appears to have been linked to six times ever, twice in the past two years.

The shortcut WP:VPACT will also need to be deleted, and the link to this essay at the bottom of Wikipedia:Our social policies are not a suicide pact. Snuge purveyor (talk) 17:01, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, horribly outdated and pointless. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 17:48, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Archive maybe, but do not delete. Consider merging and redirecting to similar essays about other policies and advice not being intended to be read narrowly and absolutely. These essays are Wikipedia history, and this history should not be deleted/censored. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:35, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you about protecting history, but every substantial edit to the essay under discussion was made by a single editor on one day. I don't feel like that's really part of our institutional history. Maybe userfy? Snuge purveyor (talk) 21:26, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, it could be userfied. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:00, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy per Snuge purveyor. No opposition to a {{historical}} tag if anyone feels it is due. — Godsy^(TALK_CONT) 01:52, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
