Currently, any pages within the user namespace can be deleted at the user's request if they file a ticket or ask me. This is current policy[2]. The other purpose, which I read as "anything in Archive: can be tagged for deletion and if nobody removes it after two weeks it can be blown to pieces", is a good idea (I think). I'd like to see discussion on it though. Pages can be undeleted as well if it was a mistake (see footnote [1] again).
I think, if there is an undeletion function as well, then:
(1) More than one person should have the ability to delete pages, although it doesn't need to be everyone.
(2) A policy of deleting anything in Archive: older than two weeks sounds is sensible and good.
I have no problem with having more pages deleted - after a period of time to let people know of the change in policy.
I am, however, a bit concerned about some pages that might currently be in archive that should NOT be deleted. For example, in the various cleanup efforts since the conversion I know some stuff was moved to archive to get it out of the default search but with the understanding that it was not completely gone and a search of archives would bring up the pages for reference.
One big example would be HOWTO pages related to end of life versions - it is a shame to delete them completely since there are people who still used those older version but I don't want a default search of selinux to bring up the guide to selinux on FC5.
There are also some packaging guideline drafts that were rejected or dropped due to lack of followup. I don't want those in a default search either but I also do not want people submitting the same suggestion over and over simply because it appears that no one ever had tried before. They should search Packaging, main, and archive for similar suggestions before submitting a new draft.
These are just a couple of thoughts off the top of my head.
