When to create a document? Document about code from Discussion

$

Hi All,

 

Let me give you an example about the given topic.

 

Say I'm working on getting a discussion question answered for someone else.  I produce some code to help them.  The question is closed.  Then I see that the question seems to recur.  Referring back to the original question is not so helpful, because the original answer was not generalized enough and was not documented enough.  Surely everyone understands that such will never happen in a discussion.  So should I be allowed to create a document that generalized and documents my answer, so that when others ask similar questions, they can be referred to the document?

 

The reason I ask is that I've had several documents deleted because they were deemed to not be unique enough.  A case could be made that since a similar question was asked and answered in a similar way, that the document is superfluous.

 

I just want to do this right!

 

Neal
