Just keep in mind that renaming/reorganizing VfD will have serious
implications as it ripples through the rest of the other languages.
Make sure the system does not get more convoluted or depends on much
more instruction reading.

There does seem to be support for renaming VfD and rewriting the VfD page
notice, so I want to concentrate on that part of my proposal.
And my campaign slogan for the change is: as we currently present VfD, some
newbies are feeling _bitten_ when they should really only feel _barked at._
How 'bout "Campaigns to Obliterate Inadequate Articles and Humiliate
Their Worthless Authors"? We're dealing, after all, with a Very Serious
Issue[tm]. The presence of a less-than-perfect article threatens to
rend the very fabric of the space-time continuum, to say nothing of
utterly annihilating Wikipedia as we know it....
