The question is: What is The Bit of Wikipedia Formerly
Known as AfD
designed to do? Is it to get articles that you don't like deleted? Or is
it to seperate the chaff from the grain?
It's to give an air of legitimacy to the deletion of articles which a large
portion of Wikipedia don't feel should be deleted. Don't like that X was
deleted? You should have voted to keep it. Don't have time to vote keep on
hundreds of articles a month even though you think they should be kept?
Tough luck. You do have time to vote on hundreds of articles a month? Then
expect to be banned from voting just like I was. Don't even bother asking
for a reconsideration. No, a mighty quorum of 7 out of the 450,000
Wikipedians have spoken, and 5 out of those 7 wanted it deleted. That's
right, 5 out of 450,000 - a consensus!
