AVID:Requests for Comment/Outlaw section removal RFCs

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum

This is one I have seen a lot. There have been multiple RFCs lately that ask to remove a section in a page. If we keep removing sections (which most have been on the wiki since a while), we will eventually end up with just Logo as a category. This is getting out of hand and while some like Nicknames and FX/SFX one has more sense, some like Trivia are starting to rock the boat with how much there are. So I suggest after we either pass or fail the one for FX/SFX (which I hope we pass personally), that we outlaw these types of RFC's entirely. Want more proof? Go to the oppose section of the Trivia RFC and you will see why we should outlaw these. (USER TALK!) 21:53, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

 Abstain I know those RFCs may get annoying and I never expected more RFCs inspired by mine as well. In this case, I will just be mid because I was the one to do the influence with my first RFC.

  1.  Abstain There are valid reasons for suggesting changes to a section of the Wiki, given that lots of it has changed over the years, and sometimes outdated sections need an overhaul. There is nothing wrong with suggesting a change should be made so long as there is a well thought out argument to back up the OP's point. I will agree with the restrictions though, that an RFC proposing a section change should only be opened with a well built up argument in favour of the case. Opening RFCs saying "Well, we're removing all these sections, so let's remove [X] important section!" is very counterintuitive and does not do anything to help our Wiki evolve. All RFC proposals are manually screened by site admins prior to being added to the site, so it would be easy to reject ones created without valid arguments.
