Why does an AFD have to be "workable"? If there is consensus for something to be done, it should be pretty obvious.
Sometimes a person(s) who really really wants an article kept or gone for reasons other then wikipedia policy will flood an AFD with sock/meat puppets and use them to sling bullshit all over the place. With all this noise it's almost impossible to reach a true consensus one way or the other. What geni did was set special ground rules for a particular AFD to keep them from doing that. All "votes" from accounts with less then 150 edits were moved to the talk page. He did this because he suspected that there were "sleeper socks" ready to wake up and invade this particular AFD.
Why do you put the word "votes" in quotation marks? Is it because you're not supposed to be counting votes in the first place?
