there is no reason to delete them as the page leading to them documents that this is the old documentation process and newer meeting are documented in the forum https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/wiki/Meetings#virtual-meetings

maybe this documentation can be improved (made more prominent)

@kfessel I am aware of the process. My reasoning here is more like:

  • Do notes from 2013/14 still have value to us?
  • The wiki is full with "dead pages", that is, pages nobody looks at ever
  • Which dead ones can be deleted?

The wiki should not be littered with no longer relevant pages. I am not proposing to get rid of the wiki nor do I want to "force remove" the meeting notes. I just want to do clean up.

notes from 2013/14 are still documentation of the meeting happening and the meeting results

e.g.: In order to keep it simple, it was decided to use the master branch as the main development branch and create branches for the releases.

is a simple decision that was made in August 29, 2013 and that is documented in the meeting notes.

The wiki is full with "dead pages", that is, pages nobody looks at ever

probaly but they also don't hurt anyone who does not look at them especially meeting notes -- they are documentation of the process -- happening in for eg 2013
