Never is going too far but it should very much be an option of last resort. There are a number of reasons why it is a bad idea:
1.Shortage of admin manpower. Remeber those stats that came out last month? We have maybe 200 admins reasonably active in an admin capacity
If everyone wants something deleted, an admin is going to delete it anyway. Not putting the article through AfD first *reduces* the manpower required by everyone, and doesn't affect the manpower required by admins.
- Adminship is meant to be no big deal. I would prefer it if people
stoped trying to make it so
Adding a new criterion for speedy deletion doesn't make adminship a big deal.
3.The constantly riseing standards at WP:RFA are not going to be helped by increaseing admin responcibilities/powers.
Again, I don't understand this. The new criteria for deletion should still be cut and dry.
4.It appears that we may be getting more wheel wars. Increaseing the number of subjective descissions will not help that. -- geni
Yes, you've confused what I've said. I think we should add more *objective* criteria to the speedy deletion candidates, not *subjective* ones. Turning off AfD for a while would cause that to happen.
