I am tempted to summarily remove all tally boxes as blatant invitations
to abuse of AFD as a straight vote.
Have you been in AFD recently? It is a vote. It always has been.
"Consensus" is determined, in EVERY afd, by counting the number of
delete votes versus the number of keep votes. Period. I recognize that
the policy says it's not a vote, but the policy might as well say the
moon is made of cheese.
In EVERY AfD? I've closed a few dozen now, and I've only rarely had to
resort to counting votes --- and when I have, it's almost always ended
up "no consensus keep", unless the count produced an overwhelming result.
So y'can reconsider the absolutes. Of course, in *principle* you may be
correct, I'm not sure yet. If so, well, I look forward to your comments
on my RfC in approximately two weeks' time.
Cheers,
