| Jun 26, 2018 at 15:53 | comment | added | TheLethalCarrot Mod | @Null Probably not extremely no (looking back), but as the linked posts say, answers can always be undeleted. As for which post to follow I tend to look at most recent with a combination of how I see things done in practice. Policies and cultures do change after all even if things were unclear last time it came up. | |
| Jun 26, 2018 at 15:52 | comment | added | Null Mod | @TheLethalCarrot As you admit a lack of clear consensus on the meta you linked to, it is better to follow the guidelines of the meta discussions which do have broad consensus (on both main meta and SFF meta). Those are the ones I linked, and they all say to only delete extremely low quality content. The answer under discussion here is not extremely low quality in my judgment. | |
| Jun 26, 2018 at 15:48 | comment | added | TheLethalCarrot Mod | @Null Well +11 to +9 (at the time of linking) isn't a clear consensus in my mind. Though I think the other answer is stating things more on the lines with how I personally VTD'd this answer in question. Not just "extremely low quality". | |
| Jun 26, 2018 at 15:44 | comment | added | Null Mod | @TheLethalCarrot The latter is more useful but the top scoring answer says, in summary, to only delete content that violates some other policy (e.g. be nice) or objectively adds no value. No value is similar to the wording I used ("absolutely nothing of value") and sounds like "extremely low quality" to me. The other answer says that low quality content can be removed at the discretion of those with the appropriate privileges, which is in line with what I said that here is some judgment required as to what constitutes an "extremely low quality". | |
| Jun 26, 2018 at 15:33 | comment | added | TheLethalCarrot Mod | Well the most recent time this came up the "policy" was unclear: here and here. Probably best to quote from the most recent metas in my opinion. The former having no clear votes either way and the latter having two slightly different posts similarly scored. | |
| Jun 26, 2018 at 15:31 | comment | added | Null Mod | @TheLethalCarrot It's also against SFF policy as stated on SFF meta, whether or not reviewers are following that policy. I guess I'll have to keep a close eye on the review queues to make sure reviewers are following the existing policy. | |

| Jun 26, 2018 at 15:28 | comment | added | TheLethalCarrot Mod | Well against network policy sure. In my experience site culture seems to be to VTD low quality posts that would normally survive elsewhere on the network. | |
| Jun 26, 2018 at 15:25 | comment | added | Null Mod | @TheLethalCarrot "[W]e delete posts around here all the time for this reason: Answers that are answers but are factually wrong or are actively bad. Might not be how the network does things but it surely is what we do." No, that is against both network and site policy as I've explained in my post. If you are doing that you should cease casting such votes. | |

FWIW we delete posts around here all the time for this reason: Answers that are answers but are factually wrong or are actively bad. Might not be how the network does things but it surely is what we do. (From my experience anyway, YMMV). Also my VTD was for what I believe is a wrong answer that was unsourced. When questioned the OP refused to add sources so I cast my VTD.
