Forum:Deleting user pages and user talk pages

I found annoying seeing red links to user pages and user talk pages, I prefer blank them out instead of deleting them, but some user ask for their deletion (for example if they are leaving the wiki) as if they were magically erased from the wiki logs and history pages. Is it unreasonable to ask to not delete them? What do you think?
 * Assuming there isn't a policy saying you can't delete discussion, then technically there is nothing preventing you from deleting the page. If you feel such a policy should exist then bring it up with the community as your wiki and go from there. :) 23:19, April 20, 2012 (UTC)
