I'm putting this up to a vote because I don't know if there might be situations where this template could be useful.  Personally, I think that fundamentally this template shouldn't be used, because the wiki shouldn't contain random speculations. After turning [[PC speaker sounds]] into a redirect, it is also now unused. [[User:Fraggle|Fraggle]] 09:46, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm putting this up to a vote because I don't know if there might be situations where this template could be useful. Personally, I think that fundamentally this template shouldn't be used, because the wiki shouldn't contain random speculations. After turning PC speaker sounds into a redirect, it is also now unused.

I'm having a little trouble making up my mind.  Currently, speculative edits tend to be rejected as "obvious speculation" without deliberation, because most of our active editors (i.e. everyone other than me) are either highly technically informed or very aware of the community's history or both.  In the future, that might not be the case, and our well-meaning but skeptical future admins might well want to flag eccentric, but interesting material that they can't immediately VfD without extensive research.  Does this sound at all plausible, or am I worrying about nothing?    Ryan W 19:10, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Regarding my own statements above, I can certainly understand the point of view that we should cross this bridge when we come to it (we seem to have had other issues with "preemptive" categories lately).  No other objections after 10 months, not even from the original editor (who was informed of this discussion 2 hours after their posting).  Therefore, closing as delete.    Ryan W 12:48, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
