[WikiEN-l] How to do something about AFD

[David Goodman]

The coordinated attempts seem to be going in both directions.  If one
group of people can join to delete articles without all of them
necessarily even reading them, others can do similarly to keep them.
At present the process is set to favor the deletors. Perhaps some of
the people objecting to efforts to support articles want to continue
it that way.  The keepers are not disrupting the process, they are
trying for equal treatment.

The first step in reform would be to not merely permit but require
fair notice to all groups and individuals interested in an
article--notice before the discussion even begins, to minimize the
effect of immediate pile-on deletes.  The second would be to make
repeated attempts at deletion symmetrical with repeated attempts to
re-insert: to require prior permission from a separate process for a
second AfD after a keep.
