G'day Geoff,
<snip />
Although I believe we need a threshold for
Wikipedia, we also should
acknowledge that in most cases an article was submitted with the best
of intentions: since we are knifing someone's baby, there is no need
to express glee while doing so. It appears to me that there is a
consensus that the words "cruft" & "notable" should not be used
in AfD:
would anyone object if I edit the opening page & explain that use of
either of these words will result with the nomination being immediately
closed as a Speedy Keep?
*Yes*. "Notable" is an important shorthand, and much less likely to
cause offence than the other AfD tragic favourite "vanity".
I agree. Someone needs to run a bot over all the active AfD subpages to
replace all instances of "vanity" with "self-aggrandising POV on
unremarkable subject, an article on which would violate the Principle of
Least Astonishment".
