There's currently a debate going on right now on Meta Stack Overflow (the new one, if you didn't hear about the spin-off of Meta Stack Exchange[0]) about whether or not highly upvoted, accepted, link-only answers should be deleted or not. One of the alternatives proposed is to turn them into comments instead.
For additional context, see
1. How should accepted link-only answers be handled?[1].
2. Your answer is in another castle: when is an answer not an answer?[2].
Edit: if you want your voice heard, now is the time to speak. Go vote, or comment, or write your own proposed solution.
