I suggest if you're going to continue in being part of the decision

I've had many discussions with him and he has its own opinions, which
is fine. Although, I don't agree with them and I don't see a reason
to discuss with him further, as he is just against anything that is
being done or suggested. For me it looks like he wants that
everything stays as it is, but still complains about the current
state. 

 
That's a straw man.

Please explain that, English is not my first language.

Removal of unused or unusable groups has been done many times and
only a few people complained. 

 
That's not true. Various News administrators have told you not to do
it. While they aren't running archive sites, they are keeping
articles due to long retention policies.

Some didn't like it, but at the end most processed the messages.

Processing your checkgroups would interfere with article retention,
obviously.

That's why every operator can configure that.

You are hearing only what you want to hear and telling us that the
lurkers support you in email.

If that was right, I wouldn't discuss with you here. I heard arguments
against deleting, but I don't agree with them.

Some years ago we had the same discussion in de.*. 

 
Clearly, then, you ignored objections from German speakers who were
not me whilst claiming there were no objections to ignore, My German
isn't conversational, so none of those objections you ignored came
from me.

German hierarchy has a voting system. In the cases I followed, one or
two people voted against deletion.

For example:
https://de.admin.news.announce.narkive.com/gmbjeTiH/1-rfd-de-rec-tv-lindenstrasse-loeschung

It's curious that you don't provide evidence that this action saved
the de.* hierarchy.

If less people want to engage in discussions, it won't go back to the
state 30 years ago.
Although, occasionally new people join and having a working system
where discussion occurs is much better that hundreds of non-working
moderated groups.
