I kinda see it like this: If we implement my suggestion and the links are nearly everywhere on the wiki, people really won't have an excuse for creating bad articles. In the instances that people *do* create a bad article, we will have to go to their page and talk to them about the article, while also highly suggesting that they read the guides. This will mean that we'll hopefully only have to address a certain user once to have them reading the guides.

In the event that they don't read the guides and refuse to clean up their bad idea, I think that the article will have to be deleted (along with a polite note left on the message wall as to why it was deleted). This would mean expanding the Deletion Policy to encompass some of the elements mentioned in the original post of this thread.

So in short: I guess we just have to be a bit stricter in instances like this. :/

I could take care of policy updates and rewriting if you're too busy, but I'm not sure if you want messing me there :P If you don't mind me saying, the policy updates are probably something that should be tackled by the wiki's admins. So don't worry about it, we'll take care of it. :)
