User:Meta.McVonn/Talk:Association of Wikipedians who rank the rate at which server space is used up among the lowest deletion priorities

just an idea. I once heard this as part of an argument for deletion. essentially: that server space is getting used up quickly by junky stuff. turns out, the thing up for deletion was something valuable to me and no one else on wikipedia. so, I took it sorely. I do think it's a poor argument for deletion of something tho, unless there is a serious trend of vain pages (or in this case, templates) indeed "cluttering up" a main space. it's something an institutional caretaker would say. yeah. yaaaa Schzzly 21:17, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Note that deleting an article does not save any disk space on our servers; in fact it uses more disk space due to the storage of additional records, page edits, log entries, undeletion info, etc. --brion 21:57, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

k, word. ya know, I mighta misconstrued what someone said. I think perhaps s/he said the main namespace was getting cluttered, not server space in general. so, if someone did cite that as a part of an argument for deletion, it's pretty vacuous, eh? or s/he is ill-informed of the nature of these things. /izl 04:42, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
