For those, like me, who got lost trying to find it, that's
[[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/AfD]] ;-)

Good luck. I don't know if it'll help anything, I don't know what it
can possibly achieve, but it's worth a try. I looked at AfD last

(21st, 23rd) without trying to throw heavy objects at people ranting
(for|against) schools.
