I don't think now is the time for a 30M pool. Georgia guy (talk) 16:14, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

• Keep - There is already a pool for the 20,000,000th article and English Wikipedia hasn't reached its 4,000,000th article yet. If you delete this, you might just as well delete the pool for the 20,000,000th article. GVnayR (talk) 18:16, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
• Delete. I do not think now is the time for any pool. They do not help us to write an encyclopedia. --Bduke (Discussion) 01:25, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment. Other Wikipedia article pools have been successful. If this pool gets deleted, then every other pool in Wikipedia should also be deleted. GVnayR (talk) 03:14, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
    • Comment. Current pools like Wikipedia:Six-million pool are not successful. HenkvD (talk) 06:29, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
    • Comment. Other pools should not be deleted, as they were created when the article growth curve was considered to be exponential. New rules ser set afterwards. HenkvD (talk) 06:29, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
• Keep. Having it there doesn't do any harm, and may help build WP:Community. 207.65.109.10 (talk) 06:31, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
• Delete. per nom. --Kleinzach 01:06, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
• Keep. Has project-related educational value. Has value to community building, and community reflections on where we are headed. Wikipedia:Pools, of which this is conceptually a subpage, contains a small number of these pools, and looking at the set of them, I don't see a problem. If you think otherwise, say something at Wikipedia talk:Pools. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:43, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

• Defer to User:HenkvD at Wikipedia talk:Pools and delete per his comment below. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:44, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

• Strong Delete. The comparable article for 20M was opened on 2007, when the 2M article was created. At that time the article growth curve was considered to be exponential. New rules for creating pools were set in 2009 here. HenkvD (talk) 06:29, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
• Delete. Enough pools already.. jeez. -- œ^™ 11:05, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
