PPC Wiki Poll Results

Since I couldn't get Google to behave and show the results summary like I wanted, I've reproduced it as best I can here. There were 44 total responses, so in all but the follow-up questions, answers are out of 44. In the follow-up questions, answers are out of however many people chose A on the previous question.

I used Create a Graph to do just that. Ten times, in fact.


Question 1: Sue and Stu Pages
Of the existing Sue and Stu articles, should we keep all, some, or none?

A. Keep all Sue and Stu pages! They're all useful and entertaining, or could be made so. (15, 34.09%)

B. Keep some Sue and Stu pages! Sues are a dime a dozen; only the most unique or impactful ones need articles to themselves. (23, 52.27%)

C. Get rid of all Sue and Stu pages! They just look like us gloating and/or reinforce the image of us as Sue-slayers only. (4, 9.09%)

D. I have no opinion and hereby cede my right to complain about the decision in the future. (2, 4.55%)


Question 1 Follow-up
It looks like you feel strongly about keeping Sue and Stu articles. Will you personally help do the work required to make them useful, entertaining, and not mean?

A. Yes! I will do everything in my power! (7, 46.67%)

B. Um, well, maybe... if I know stuff about them. And have time. (8, 53.33%)

C. No, I think other people should do the work. (0, 0%)

Question 2: Author Pages
Are they useful, or just mean?

A. Keep all author pages! They provide useful information. (1, 2.27%)

B. Keep some author pages! Some of them are a big enough deal to deserve an article, as long as we treat them fairly. (25, 56.82%)

C. Get rid of them! We're not here to talk about authors. (17, 38.64%)

D. I have no opinion and hereby cede my right to complain about the decision in the future. (1, 2.27%)

Question 3: Author Names
Is listing author names on wiki pages (including but not limited to the various badfic lists and Sue pages) a good idea?

A. I will not edit these pages if I'm not allowed to list author names! (0, 0%)

B. Yeah, I don't think it hurts anyone, and giving credit is important. (20, 45.45%)

Is it ever okay to delete very short articles? (Note that this doesn't include just-for-fun articles that are intentionally short and silly.)

A. It's never okay to delete a stub! All stubs should be expanded! (1, 2.27%)

B. It's sometimes okay to delete a stub, but only if its content can be merged with another article. (6, 13.64%)

C. It's sometimes okay to delete/merge non-PPC-specific stubs. PPC ones should always be expanded. (3, 6.82%)

D. Stubs of any kind should be treated on a case-by-case basis. Some should be expanded, some should be merged, some should be deleted altogether. (32, 72.73%)

E. All stubs must die! (0, 0%)

F. I have no opinion, yadda yadda. (2, 4.55%)

Is it ever okay to remove links that don't go anywhere?

A. It's never okay to remove a redlink! Someone should make a page already! (3, 6.82%)
