Talk:Upcoming ERB suggestions/@comment-24408988-20150104213443

I am about to post a very long comment, so if you're not gonna bother to read, then I advise you not to reply.

For the past few weeks, I've been wondering as to whether or not this page is actually necessary. Its only purpose is listing suggestions that alot of people seem to really like, and hardly any of the suggestions that have been on here have actually happened. I read the first comment chain here awhile back and it said that when this page was first created, it was just a troll page saying that this place sucks, which eventually got changed into this. If that event had happened more recently, the page would've just simply been deleted. If you're gonna have a page like this, then at least give it a use like making it a poll to see who exactly likes it, because even the ERB Suggestions Not to Give page at least does something, which is provide a guideline of how to make a decent suggestion that would actually be considered. This, on the other hand, is like a blog that was copied and pasted into a page.

Another thing that bothers me is the "Tier" format. Nothing against DWAS, but some of the suggestions here are either in the wrong tier or have never been suggested before. I mean, when was the last time you saw Monty Python vs Marx Brothers, Robinson Crusoe vs Odysseus, or Erwin Schrodinger vs Ivan Pavlov suggested on here? My answer; Never. This list is supposed to be based on popular suggestions, not ones that are liked by those who have the power to edit this page. I don't even remember the last suggestion posted here that was liked by others AND put on here at the same time, which completely destroys the purpose of "Before adding a suggestion, please post it in the comments first to see if other users agree with it too."

This isn't me saying we absolutely have to delete this page, but at least give it a use like every other page in this Wiki, not just listing off 50 suggestions that about 2 or 3 people agree with. Things like that can give Wiki newbies the wrong idea of what pages can or cannot be made and cause them to create several pages about things they like.

Again, I am not trying to start anything here, I'm just vocalizing my opinion.
