why delete it?

It was a year and a half old, and no one cared to put the work in to make it launchable. It had only two edits in its history, for pete's sake.

Look, we're really generous when it comes to the time it takes a polish a trope in the workshop. TVT has a 3-day rule for turnaround on trope candidates, but we let things percolate for weeks and months. But there comes a time where we simply have to say it's not happening. In a discussion several weeks ago, Labster, Geth and I settled on six months as a cutoff. If the candidate is older than six months and it's not launchable, we cut our losses and bin it. And I've been relaxed even about that, prodding people to finish up a candidate and make it usable for weeks before I finally throw up my hands and nuke it.

You object to the deletion of Fake Flight? Cool. Restore it. But if you do, make it launchable. Don't just kick it out the door half-made and then complain when it dies in the cold.
