This posting led to an ANI which was quickly closed; too tired to figure out why right now.
I thought I'd seen AfDs there a number of times over last couple years. Don't know easy way to search through archives.
If they are NOT appropriate, and anything else not appropriate, good idea to put it in the message footer of each message.

I'm confused too about when posting to this list might constitute a violation of [[WP:CANVAS]], or if it does whether we ought to pay attention to it. Is posting to this public list an example of what the guideline calls "stealth canvassing*": "*Contacting users off-wiki ..."?
There have been several occasions where issues directly relevant to the treatment of women on Wikipedia have arisen, and I've been hesitant to mention them because they involved an RfC, AfD or similar.
I can understand the concern, but on the other hand it's leading to people who might be interested in an issue not being told about it.
What do others think? Where should we draw the line?
