Hear hear. Instead of moving VfD to AfD, we might as well have moved it to "Wikiproject Deletion." The last thing we need is a group of people who _specialize_ in deciding what articles are allowed in Wikipedia. The small, obscure articles don't get many people from outside the VfD regulars to consider the matter.
If people are a problem deal with the people (any other aprach would result in us have to delete pretty much any high profile artilce if taken to it's logical conclusion.
