But should a question with +50/-51 score be automatically deleted? I don't think so, since we don't decide things by majority vote, but by consensus.

@SonictheStay-HomeHedgehog when clear consensus has not been reached after 30 days when the Roomba kicks in then I can live with the slate being cleared on what it asked, and if anyone thinks they can gain clear consensus with a different wording they are free to ask a new question.
