Who keeps deleting valid questions?
Just about every time I come here, I try to answer a question and then get a message that it has been deleted. Some of them are perfectly valid. For example, I just ran into one that asked if God can stop existing. In the Philosophy area. What's wrong with that? I've also noticed many questions deleted that have nothing in common except expressing free-market economic ideas. Does Yahoo hire gnomes to sit around deleting things they don't like or agree with? What gives?

It takes one or more users to report a question for it to be deleted.
If you feel it is a valid question you can appeal the violation and if Yahoo agree they will reinstate it.
With subjects like religion and politics etc you will always find other users will take offence with what you say, and with the way the system works it is an uphill battle to write them acceptable to get past both groups.
