I'm starting to like where this proposal is going.
I have some suggestions
that I'd like to throw out for feedback:
- AfD would be turned off for the first two weeks of the month (1st -14th).
- The second week of the month (8th-14th), all mainspace article creation
would be turned off.
- Starting on the 15th, Wikipedia would return to operating as usual (for
the rest of the month).
I believe that the result of these changes would be to create a cycle in
which more articles were developed into "real" articles rather than
remaining substandard. It also cuts AfD's status to part-time. There
probably would be a flood of nomination on the 15th of each month, but by
this point every article would have had at least one full week to improve
and likely closer to two weeks.
I like it. People insist on using AFD as an editorial tool ... let's go
with that and really treat it as one.
Add to above: all AFDs to run fourteen days, not five.
