Thread:User talk:Aaron Schulz/Requests for comment/Page deletion discussion

It's an interesting conversation; I'm not dogmatic about the page_deleted field, but I just want to make sure there's a good reason to add a new table, and that there wouldn't be so many drawbacks as to make it an inferior option. Both options do indeed seem to have their pros and cons.

Actually, I appreciate your comments because if you are right and you manage to convince everyone, before the new field option is implemented, that the new page option is indeed better, that saves work in the long run because then we don't need to change it later or suffer with a suboptimal system. On the other hand, if the field option is better, then a thorough enough conversation may prove that to be the case and we can confidently go forward with that option.
