When should a discussion be deleted?

We try not to delete discussions; it is okay for them to get a bit more off topic than the answer.

However, from time to time we do delete a discussion. When a discussion is deleted, it is usually due to it being argumentative or inflammatory.

There are terms of use and etiquette expectations on the site, and they must be adhered to - even in the discussions.
