Since I've been going through a lot of old, unneeded stuff here and at Meta, I've come to a point where I need to ask you all a question: Should we keep reviews by users who aren't on this wiki? We didn't transfer customs from users who didn't move off of Wikia, but we did for reviews. A lot of reviews from users who didn't move aren't that great anyways, so it wouldn't be much of a loss. It's doubtful anyone will care to read them. --ToaMeiko (talk) 02:24, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

Well, if they're not here, why keep them? They are reviews, but if they're not here, why should we have them? I see your point... We don't need them, lest they're actually great reviews. But I honestly don't think we'd need them. They're only reviews. LCF (talk!) 02:28, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
Neutral. One one hand, they aren't doing any harm, but on the other, they aren't exactly constructive (at least in the case of the low-quality ones). We could maybe get a Review Review Board together to see which ones are worth keeping, but that just seems a bit silly. -Cligra

I know I won't be happy here until every unpatrolled edit is discussed by a Patrol Committee that meets biweekly on Tuesdays. CJC95 (talk) 10:37, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

weak oppose
I genuinely see no point at all, they're not doing anything wrong, so we might as well leave them there, maybe someone will see one and decide they can do better and make one of their own. The reviews namespace needs all it can get IMO (not that everything else doesn't...). UltrasonicNXT (talk)
The main problem is that the namespace is pretty unorganised. The requirements of reviews don't promote much quality reviewing either. The oldest reviews seem to be the worst quality-wise, most of which are by users who aren't here at Brickimedia. Deleting them wouldn't hurt, and if anything would increase the overall quality. If we go through with this idea to delete old reviews from users who aren't here at Brickimedia, we can keep former featured reviews, but there's really no reason to keep not-so-good old reviews of old sets that nobody would be interested in reading. --ToaMeiko (talk) 19:52, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
Support. I don't think we should have reviews on here unless a user has specified they actually want them on this site NovaHawk (talk) 03:27, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
Archiving this and I'll be deleting reviews of users who haven't joined this wiki over the next few days depending on how long it takes. --ToaMeiko (talk) 03:35, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
