Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)

I was finally moved to make this nomination after the latest WP:AN/I thread (and corresponding blocks to various editors). This is only the most recent incident out of hundreds; there are currently 112 (!) talk archives, most of which consist of arguments; 15 talk archives on binary prefix issues alone; 8 talk archives on dates and years; and probably in excess of a dozen previous AN/I threads. This is a low-level pain in the ass which flares up every couple of weeks (if not more often) and then gets tamped down again but only briefly before another eruption.

Think of all the time and effort that has been wasted on this meaningless style page — time and effort that could have gone into improving the encyclopedia. It's time to end it. Time to bite the bullet and get rid of this hellhole once and for all. *** Crotalus *** 19:58, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
