Inadequate?
In the resolution itself, "inadequate" is struck through, which I interpret as an intention to drop the word from the final phrasing. Yet here, it is still there. Thanks for clarification. --Daniel Mietchen 05:09, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
- I just copy-pasted the policy and did not note that the strikeout was not preserved. I have now corrected this. Thanks for noting it! Johan A. Förberg 23:20, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
suggest a rephrase
I don't mean to criticize anyone, but I suggest the first paragraph be slightly rewritten as follows:
An article may be deleted by editorial decision in cases where all three of the following criteria are met: a) the aricle has significant weaknesses; b) deleting its content would remove nothing of importance from the project; and c) it is unlikely to be improved as there is no active interest from any member of Citizendium in developing it.
I adjusted the grammar for the list and removed an unnecesary introductory phrase: it should be obvious that this is a policy, since it is in CZ: space and has been confirmed by the Editorial Council. --Joe Quick 15:53, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
