Forum:Leaving and Deletion

It is far too common a practice that whenever a user leaves Star Wars Fanon, he/she assumes that all articles that the user may have authored must be deleted. It is fine that you want to move on in life, and it is acceptable that you don't want to do anymore on Star Wars Fanon. What is not needed is for the author to put delete templates on all the articles he/she made. Plenty of examples, including Darth Hideous and TempMan, and more recently Don Delrasii Coldheart, are existent that users here are misinformed about the state of articles. Some legitimage pages made by "vandals," though are completely within the guidelines of Fanon, are also thought to need to be truckloaded off to deletion land. Five words: this is not the case.

Though you may not be able to further add to or improve you articles, some works are outstanding feats of creativity and dedication, and should at least remain for inspiration to newcomers. Remember, there is more to this site than ME! ME! ME!, and other users may enjoy your work. Just because you won't be around to enjoy it doesn't mean that you should deprive everyone else of the chance to see what you have produced. In short, your works can and should outlast your phase of contributions to Star Wars Fanon. I don't want to delete Jak Virtus, for example, because despite Unfanonpedia criticisms, it was a good article. Even if you will not be around for inquiries about the article in question, you don't have to take all your work back. You worked too hard on it.
