I never delete, unless the shot is all black from where the flash misfired or the cap was on. ;-)
I find that both my tastes and my ability to make a near-miss into something reasonable or even good improves over time. I've been recently "rescuing" shots that a year ago (just post-shoot) I lumped into 1-star oblivion and would have deleted if that was my policy. Now I'm looking and saying, hey I like that expression; why didn't I mark that higher?
