It would be great if someone could construct a stub for this article. However, I think the best course of action in the mean time is to have a redirect. Thoughts? TippyGoomba ( talk) 19:47, 2 June 2013 (UTC) reply

No, I'd recommend leaving this as a redirect; a stub will encourage user edits taking us down the same road. I've requested protection for the redirect to prevent this. I would recommend developing a stub/outline in the incubator so users can contribute to the new version there. Chris Troutman ( talk) 20:10, 2 June 2013 (UTC) reply

That sounds good as well. TippyGoomba ( talk) 21:11, 2 June 2013 (UTC) reply

Seems like some users had political motivation. Seems like no one interest to improve the document by a new structure. Reverting back to original since we can't wait our entire life to see a new structure for this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.245.163.53 ( talk) 16:10, 8 October 2013 (UTC) reply

If you want to write a fresh article, that would be great. The redirect is much better than the old article. TippyGoomba ( talk) 06:08, 9 October 2013 (UTC) reply
