I don't think it's necessary to keep
"nominations" from
hiding in obscurity. Again, if it's important, someone will notice it
and reverse it. If it isn't, then it doesn't matter anyway. This is
especially true because we already point out that an article has been
deleted when someone actually tries to read that article.
Speedy deletion
nominations aren't permanently logged in a central
place, only in the edit history. They disappear from the directory as
soon as the tag is removed. Have you got any idea how often speedy
tags are removed? Just because I don't notice them being removed,
doesn't mean it's not important.
Ah, I see what you mean now, you're talking about speedy deletion
nominations. Can't these be put on [[Wikipedia:Speedy deletions]] for
a central location? I don't really see what this has to do with AfD,
anyway.
I'm saying that listing articles on a central page rather than tagging
and categorizing them avoid people from removing tags which shouldn't
be removed.
And I don't see what that has to do with AFD. When we turn off AFD,
we turn off tagging articles under AFD too.
