Having a vote threshold simply won't work. Last night I closed 4 AfD's, all 
on Bus Stops (result was no consensus). What if each voter could only vote 
on 3 of the 4, and then no more articles at all? Besides, that would just 
increase the number of articles who don't get enough votes to reach 
consensus- they'd have to be relisted, increasing the AfD load.
