[WikiEN-l] Renaming VfD now under discussion...

Nice.  Nicely coded personal attack.  Nice way to avoid the issue by attempting to belittle those you disagree with.  Nice attempt to avoid reasoned discussion.

Sorry it didn't work.

How 'bout "Campaigns to Obliterate Inadequate Articles and Humiliate 
Their Worthless Authors"? We're dealing, after all, with a Very Serious 
Issue[tm]. The presence of a less-than-perfect article threatens to 
rend the very fabric of the space-time continuum, to say nothing of 
utterly annihilating Wikipedia as we know it....
