[WikiEN-l] AFD has gone to a 7 day cycle

[wjhonson at aol.com]

When AfD was first used, there was no particular set period of time to 
wait.  Some articles which went through AfD (not talking speedy here), 
were flagged and deleted within only 12 hours or so.  Not that I 
particularly remember one such incident or anything....

I wonder when the plan to inform the community was? It might seem like a
minor change, but it's a significant one. AFD/VFD has been 5 days since,
what, when it was created? It's a fairly entrenched system. Pointless 
in my
view to extend by 2 days. People will simply not remember what they've 
been
practising for years.
