This is exactly correct. Still-- whethere a name
should be changed or not (whether its offensive,
inflammatory, inciteful, provokative) is a subjective
question-- it always needs to be voted on (there are
some exceptions with extremely offensive names --
where the offensive name choice more often coincides
with a vandalist intent) This is the basic way I
framed the rewrite of the
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:NIU policy. If it
meets with some disagreement, say so.
Jesus is lord's name has been voted on since last
night and has had 17 votes -- 13 of which favor
changing the name. Consensus in action-- and less than
15 hours since voting started.

If JIL wants to vote on a namechange for "Evil
saltine" or "Stevertigo" as well, we can do so. I
doubt these qualify.

I'll know it when I see it.
