For the first time today, in this SE, I've seen an answer was deleted. I had thought our standard was to simply up-vote or down-vote as needed, but leave all answers alone, with possibly a comment on how to better improve the answer.
In Can you be a commercial pilot if you have a criminal record?Can you be a commercial pilot if you have a criminal record? today, an answer was actually flagged for deletion, and deleted. It was essentially a link only answer, however there was a single sentence in addition to the link, so it was borderline, in my opinion.
Are we changing our standards? Practices? Is this a one off? Or have answers been deleted all along and I never noticed?
