Wikipedia:VfD decisions not backed by current policies/poll

This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference. Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.

There are several dozen criteria under which a page can be deleted, these include those listed at Wikipedia:Deletion policy, Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, and some pages on specific issues like Wikipedia:Verifiability. There is no obligation on VfD voters to have their votes conform to policy, nor should there be. However the question arises: should some mechanism be introduced to ensure that only pages that are listed as being eligible for deletion under current policy are deleted.

Note: this poll is still just a proposal and is not yet active
