Blanking articles: Rather than remove this rule altogether, we could put it under a section for things that might not be considered "vandalism" (i.e. deliberate defacement of the wiki), but still aren't allowed and might be mistaken for vandalism. We could also have some sort of set of guidelines on how to go about removing your story from the wiki. I agree that if it's clear to the administrator that the author was simply trying to remove their own page, they should just delete the page and issue a warning to the user (if they haven't been warned before).

Talk pages: While I personally couldn't care less what users do to their own talk page, people have made their cases in the past and I think the general consensus is that this rule makes keeping track of things on this wiki (which is already an incredibly difficult task) a bit easier. The messages are restored, the user is let off with a warning, no big deal. There really isn't a good reason to modify this rule.
