Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/"Newstuff" talk pages
Why are these pages still protected? Why do they even still exist? The cheeky and completely useless message inviting us to discuss a talk page "on the talk page" doesn't exactly help. The protection log reads:
- Protected Talk:Christopher Ruddy/Newstuff: transcluded content for talkpage - this content may not be amended - under WP:OFFICE rules and watch [edit=sysop:move=sysop]
If indeed "this content may not be amended", what the hell is it doing on Wikipedia? Is it even licensed under the GFDL? We're screwed if it's not, and I think the best thing to do is delete it. Now. It's clear that it's not of use to anyone – and, frankly, we don't want information that's going to be stuck in a subpage, protected with the oh-so-scary "OFFICE ACTION DO NOT EDIT THIS OR ELSE" message and then left to rot, even if it was useful.

- Delete per nom. If the admins ever need to see this archive, they know where to find it. For the rest of us, it serves no purpose. Talk subpages are generally deprecated, aside from the WP:OFFICE implications unique to these two pages. Shalom Hello 01:28, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Keep if the office wants to delete this they can. It's none of our business. -N 14:18, 4 July 2007 (UTC)- Delete looks like leftover cruft from an old situation which was long since resolved.--Jimbo Wales 14:42, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
