Personally, I think there should be a level above deletion and below being visible in the wikipedia.
For example if we made the wiki's stubs come up with a blank screen, with a disclaimer and some kind of clicky that makes the article appear (possibly only if you're editing it or something). It's not so much that the wikipedia will improve more quickly, but it makes the difference between a friendly wikipedia and an unfriendly one; the article can improve over time and graduate, right now, a lot of articles with potential are simply being mashed flat, along with the novice users feelings; it would be better if it wasn't an AFD process but instead it was SFA (stub for article). -- -Ian Woollard _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
