Premature archiving

Can you please revert your archiving?

Clearly, a number of editors think this warrants discussion, and it’s inappropriate for an WP:INVOLVED editor to shut it down prematurely. BilledMammal (talk) 04:03, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Reverting would reward a WP:TALKNO violation. The behavior is inappropriate. Reverting has, for me, less utility than dissociating the NPOV tag from the archived discussion. The OP, or anyone else, can create a talk page section and follow the Template:POV usage guidelines by "pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies" and "identifying specific issues that are actionable within Misplaced Pages's content policies". I'm sure there are many given the nature of that article. Then everyone can move on. If you find my argument uncompelling, that's fine, I've been wrong thousands of times, but I encourage you to seek another opinion from someone whose judgement you trust. Sean.hoyland (talk) 05:16, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
The OP raised whether the content passes the "smell test". Other editors then identified that the sources don't appear to support the content.
Both of these are valuable contributions - and as an involved editor, I don't think it's appropriate for you to decide that the discussion needs to be shut down. BilledMammal (talk) 05:27, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
I have no interest in the content, and I'm about as involved as a bot. I understand your view. You understand my view. Clearly, we are using different value systems and priorities when it comes to talk page guideline compliance and measuring utility. That's okay. If you would like a different outcome you will need to talk to a different person. Sean.hoyland (talk) 06:41, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

I have no interest in the content, and I'm about as involved as a bot.

You've participated in previous discussions on the topic, such as this one. BilledMammal (talk) 06:54, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
I think that shows an interest in pedantry rather than the article content. Allow me to change the window of the statement then. I have no current interest in the content. This is true in general for PIA article content nowadays because I am focusing on other (mostly technical and enforcement related) things, unless something interesting catches my eye. To give a concrete example, it makes no difference to me whether the content of that article passes someone's "smell test", whether it offends anyone, whether it contains false information, whether it is a political weapon, whether it is complete garbage, or whether a number of editors think their personal opinions about the world have value here and are not subject to talk page guidelines.
