Template:Dont remove warnings

This template has been nominated for deletion since 14 December 2012. To discuss it, please visit the nomination page. Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed. Reason for the nomination: This template is being used to enforce non-existent policies. Per COM:TALK, "Others delete comments after they have responded to them (but this practice is no longer recommended - archiving is preferred)." Clearly this leaves it at the editorial discretion of the user. Moreover, this guideline, and especially the use of this template, is completely inconsistent with the practices of our sister project, Wikipedia.
