What's
being proposed is, if anybody coming into the
discussion thinks that the reason for the listing
isn't acceptable, they can just delete it from the VfD
page. Why not just let it run its course, and vote
Keep? Because radical inclusionists are afraid they'd
lose the vote. ~~~~
No, I'm proposing it (not a strawman "radical inclusionist")
because there's a shitload of nominations that have had *no
listed rationale*. They're on the order of "I've never heard
of it so it's not notable" - measuring the content of
Wikipedia by their ignorance. They're nominations that, per
the policy *shouldn't be there at all*, and make VFD
unfeasibly long.
Also, VFD isn't actually "votes" - it's an attempt to establish
consensus.
Pretty obviously, anyone deleting a nomination in the bogus
manner you describe will be reverted in damn short order.
I expect you will likely be the one doing so.
