Generally, we suggest users should not delete accepted matches. The more matches that
are accepted, the better the Version Tracking results, since user choices affect
future match scores. Keeping accepted matches and the applied markup provides
future analysis with more corroborating details. Contrastingly, deleting accepted
matches while keeping applied markup will remove supporting evidence that the user has
already substantiated.
Generally, we suggest users should not delete accepted matches for the following reasons:
<ul>
<li>Accepted matches are used by some of the other correlators to find more matches. If
completely deleted, those other correlators will not have as much information to work
from. </li>
<li>The number of implied match votes and conflicts will be altered when accepted
matches are completely removed.</li>
<li>If deleting an accepted match causes the number of votes to reach
zero for a particular implied match, the implied match will be deleted as well. </li>
<li>Selecting an accepted match in the match table allows users to see what markup was
applied when the match was accepted. Deleting accepted matches while keeping applied
markup will remove this supporting evidence regarding how the markup was generated.</li>
</ul>
