The future of Champion Strategy pages

tl;dr: Strategy pages, should we keep them as is, should we try to salvage them as a concept, or should we just get rid of them completely. Reply below with your opinions.

Strategy pages have been a contentious subject for many a wiki user over the past couple years, they're one of the few places on the wiki where we host subjective information and opinions rather than just hard, fact based data and to some that isn't the goal of a wiki and as a result those users feel strategy pages should be removed. We've had this discussion before but never really got anything out of it but we're here today to try and settle this years long debate.

I'm personally of the opinion they should be removed and that a wiki is not the place for things like build/gameplay suggestions, there are plenty of other sites out there if a user wants that kind of information. I suggest moving the official riot information like recommended items to a different tab and just either archiving the strategy pages or deleting them all.

Issue 1) There are no editors who want to provide that service.

Issue 2) There is no such thing as a definitive guide to a strategy game, so it is impossible to provide that service.

Quote from the wiki:

"Some things must remain buried."

All strategy pages have been deprecated and are currently only being used for archival purposes. For more information visit Thread:1394366.

Then stop searching for them?

What Emptylord said. There's no reason to delete them completely, there's an indication that they're deprecated.

The strategy pages should be left as they were. The strategy was of a very general nature, "food for thought", even guidelines. It doesn't matter that they aren't available for every champion; at least if they exist, then more experts would be encouraged to author them and maintain them or add to them. I can say that they were very helpful, and many continue to be, even having been mothballed for two years.

It is my impression that the proportionate influence of this resource has grown. I think that the completeness of the strategy pages might also increase, relevant to the state that they were in, if they were re-instated. They would NEVER be able to represent a perfect, completely up-to-date set of guidelines. HOWEVER, I'll point out, that the in-game recommended tabs THEMSELVES are also not perfect or up-to-date, yet they are not retired, and corrected less-than-annually.

The strategy pages here have the potential to be at least as current and valid as the in-game recommended tabs. Bring them back, perhaps with some disclaimer.

WTF no they shouldn't be removed in regards to ability usage. Item usage though, sure.

In line (somewhat) with what REJhin wrote above, I'd volunteer to be part of a team that would solicit basic strategy material (akin to what was there before) from established mains ("Experts" per Riot stat grading) and to keep these current, at least annually and by re-work, and to keep track of such.
