Other times, it can be soul-crushing to spend thirty minutes reformatting a story only to realize it's a JTK knock-off or a carbon-copy haunted videya game pasta.

But I think if someone isn't up for the editing, why not toss it into the M4R category where people like me have the time to make the revisions? That's what one person did with Vox and King Beau. I wouldn't mind it having to be in the M4R category, so that it can be patched up. But, to me, downright deleting it without reading it because of formatting issues is just something that doesn't seem right. Because you may never know what content you are deleting. It can be qualitative content, why something that is probably the next Psychosis or Humper-Monkey's Ghost Story. Or it can be something that's just... bleh... and deserves to be deleted.

I'm just calling this out as a question, because I don't think that deleting for formatting issues without reading the article is not right. I just don't necessarily think that administrators should be able to delete articles without reading them. That's what happened, I think, with War Stories. An admin deleted it because they didn't want to work on it, it seems. That's why I wanted to ask this, because it makes me curious.
