I still want to change AfD to explicitly be a "quality assurance" function. Right now it's slanted toward deletion by its very name, and I'm not sure that's a good thing.
Articles needing Verification?
Any serious problem, be it a lack of verification or referencing, needing major cleanup, or just not suitable for inclusion. The problem right now is that AfD is being used for all of these things, but it's *called* "articles for deletion" and so the process is prejudiced toward deletion when it really needs to be about ensuring quality.
Will you stop whingeing about this.
Design a process that merges AfD with the other article improving tagging (maybe an unsalvageable tag or a nocontent tag on a scale that includes unverified and needs wikifying, and has the general improvement tags in) and a process that examines a queue of all these articles.
Or shut up.
