/On fixing hatnotes (how hatnotes that appear to violate WP:TRHAT etc. can sometimes be rewritten instead of needing to be removed; see for example my edit on Nonunion)
Neither R with possibilities nor R to related topic is R to article without mention - just because an article is still being drafted is not an excuse to redirect to a confusing place (on an unrelated note: why isn't R with possibilities restricted to article namespace? We need a project to harmonize namespace restrictions for redirect templates, but I'm not sure where to start the discussion)
I am of the opinion that we are not enforcing our notability guideline and underlying policies stringently enough (cf. WP:Amnesia test) but that in increasing such enforcement we are obliged also to do a better job directing both readers and editors to alternative outlets, preferably those that support HTTPS and other basics of information security (such as not storing passwords in plaintext).
The information-security digression is a distraction, although not to be omitted entirely; the main point is "both readers and editors." Also, this essay would be about the general concept of alternative outlets; suggesting any one in particular for any specific topic is out of scope.
"WP:HERE is a sliding scale" or "What WP:NOTNOTHERE means" - The term "here to build an encyclopedia" is potentially misleading to new editors. For one thing, the "wide range of interests" ideal described in WP:HERE is ill-defined and unenforceable. Since everyone is busy with real life to some extent, each person cannot do everything; specialization on one's interests is unavoidable. We should not neglect tedious maintenance tasks just because they are unpopular, as that creates a vicious cycle. Editor time is cheap(er than you think) – potential alternative essay title? (Is there still a perception that WikiFairies are "more HERE" than the other good-faith WikiFauna classes? TODO.) Furthermore, no one is perfect, and occasional disputes are unavoidable despite good faith. Specifically, not everyone may understand what it means that the section WP:NOTNOTHERE mentions "Expressing unpopular opinions – even extremely unpopular opinions in a non-disruptive manner."
Related to discussion of redirects above: Yes, redirect maintenance consumes editor time, but so does everything else on Wikipedia.
Actually, my original motivation for having a bullet point on WP:(NOT)HERE is that I consider it unhelpful for admins to cite WP:NOTHERE in block reasons without (also) mentioning a more specific policy, except perhaps in extreme WP:DENY cases. This should probably be a separate essay.
