I'm sure it won't be this simple, but:
- People nominating for VfD should be forced to explain why the article must be deleted, else the VfD subpage itself should be speedied and a note posted on the nominator's talkpage.
- There should be a notice on every VfD page and subpage explaining that:
-- a nomination is not a reflection on the contributor -- "unencyclopaedic" doesn't mean "unimportant" -- all discussion must be kept civil
Should help a little, surely?
Indeed. I've pointed this out a few times (both on people's talk pages and the mailing list). I think that is what most of the mor^H^Heatpuppets from Livejournal failed to notice everytime they came and vote-stacked a V/AFD.
