It is also important to remember that we who are trying to help these poor [new users][1] are the [real majority][2] of users on stack exchange. It is time that those of us who have been fighting against this dreadful [destruction of valid content][3] double down and [continue to fight the good fight][4]. And let's not forget, when asked, the founders of this site [clearly indicated that every question is worth keeping.][5] Be it here, or on one of the many other stack exchange sites! In short: [deleting questions][6] should never happen! **Disclaimer:** *I don't actually participate in either side of this discussion, as a new user I'm more content reading questions / learning from great answers. Leaving the managing of the sites to those who have been around for a few years. And I'm personally still undecided on whether or not these old questions are worth closing.* [1]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/19665/the-help-vampire-problem [2]: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=vocal%20minority [3]: http://www.sparklogix.com/how-to-manage-expired-content/ [4]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Admitting_you%27re_wrong [5]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/91411/why-was-this-question-closed-as-off-topic-without-being-migrated/91446#91446 [6]: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/10582/what-is-a-closed-or-on-hold-question [7]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_customer_is_always_right
