Forum:When to archive?

It occurs to me that we have an archived discussions section here, but we don't really have a good guideline for when a discussion is considered up for archival. Any thoughts on a good time to wait before archiving? --  LiR speak ~ read 20:49, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Whilst I think that for the vast majority of discussions that we should keep them around until we get a definite answer, I'd say wait until it's dried up for a couple of weeks. I realise that discussions dying before we can get any answer has been, and still is, a major issue though to be honest I think that the community should step up and give sufficient input before they dry up... 14:27, November 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok, maybe this works better as two questions. How long after a conversation completes (i.e. a conclusion is reached) do we wait before we archive it? Alternately, how long after a conversation has dried up do we wait before archival? --  LiR speak ~ read 18:42, November 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure, but how was "archival" even implemented back when we still used the community talk page? I think it's just based on how long it's been since last time a topic is discussed.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  14:46, November 10, 2012 (UTC)
