'Cos what I'm saying is to just enforce the policy

there, and is referred to both at beginning and
end of VFD as being
a thing to follow, in the hope of making VFD
somewhat smaller so
that it may be more humanly manageable.
I really don't see what's so hard about actually
putting a reason bearing
a relationship to policy, particularly when VFD
explicitly says to do so.
To clarify, I was responding to Pete/Pcb21's
suggestion that was,
basically, "Why use VFD at all, we should just
decide what should be
speedy deleted and use that."
I am much in favor of your suggestion that
nominations at VfD that do
not reference a reason listed in the deletion policy
should be removed
forthwith.

But that's not what's being proposed here. 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. ~~~~
