Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles E. Wicks
The nomination takes a lot of time and words to explain that the nominator doesn't really want to delete this page.  And notice that all this text has resulted in the creation of another page to hold this discussion.  By convention, we will not delete this discussion page, which will be kept visible in perpetuity.  So, why then are we considering deleting the page in question, which is more encyclopedic, while retaining the discussion page which is just |bureaucratic and of no general interest?  It seems that the nominator thinks that there are rules which require us to do so.  But we have a clear and fundamental policy which tells us what to do in such cases: "|if a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it".  And the rule in question is, in any case, just a guideline which explicitly says that exceptions are possible
— NONE, NONE
