Supporting, as long as we can finally stop bringing up -ARC every three weeks.

Supporting. Yet another remnant of a bygone era that I'll be glad to see go.

Support. We need to be consistent about this first and foremost. If we end archivals, I’m very happy

Outside of guides, archiving serves no good purpose on this site. Full support.

can't believe milk jesus is going to kill ARCs

support, as this would also now prevent people from misunderstanding how the process works like in this thread

About damn time this gets finally put to rest. With the exception of very specific circumstances like 049-ARC (which should go through the same proposal&vote process), I see no reason why new -ARC's should ever be a thing again.

After an archival vote was posted to the comments of an article below the deletion threshold, the topic of how and if we should archive articles came up in staffchat. The individuals present during this discussion generally agreed that the best solution seemed to be officially phasing out the archival process, as we did not see any particularly compelling reasons to keep new articles up against the will of the community.

In short, my proposal is that we formally state as staff that we will no longer archive works of fiction on the site. This will not affect the archival of outdated guides and essays, and will not affect pages which are currently archived. It will only prevent the addition of more works of fiction to the list of archived pages.

This discussion will be open for three days, and is open to all staff.
