TL;DR (Summary)<p>There's currently a debate going on right now on Meta Stack Overflow (the new one, if you didn't hear about the spin-off of Meta Stack Exchange[0]) about whether or not highly upvoted, accepted, link-only answers should be deleted or not. One of the alternatives proposed is to turn them into comments instead.<p>For additional context, see<p>1. How should accepted link-only answers be handled?[1].<p>2. Your answer is in another castle: when is an answer not an answer?[2].<p><i>Edit: if you want your voice heard, now is the time to speak. Go vote, or comment, or write your own proposed solution.</i><p>[0]: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7626264" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7626264</a><p>[1]: <a href="http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/251514/456814" rel="nofollow">http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/251514/456814</a><p>[2]: <a href="http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/225370/163250" rel="nofollow">http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/225370/163250</a>
