Making it easier for trekkies to vote on trekkie AFDs... I was actually thinking more along the lines of ensuring that an AFD is exposed to a wider selection of Wikipedians. One criticism of AFDs is that after the second day, the only people who still bother to vote/comment are those with an interest in the article. A recent AFD of Star Trek material had to resort to repeatedly relisting it in order to get wider exposure... otherwise, it would have just been the Trekkie voters still hammering away (OMG! Trek article! Keep! Keep!) despite the subject being 100% original research.
` If AfD wasn't a vote (and there's absolutely no reason it should be a vote) this would not be a problem.
