Actually it's not supposed to be about consensus at AFD. If you use consensus it's far, far too easy to stuff the vote; people can email their friends or use socks, and in common cases it's almost completely undetectable. Too many AFDs I've seen, in practice, work as a straight vote; that just doesn't work at all. That's why it's supposed to be about who has identified the valid policy for deletion or keeping it. You can't stuff the vote by identifying valid policy. -- -Ian Woollard _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
