Folks,
I think this is a useful suggestion but I think we need to have the opportunity to say why the article has been rated so we can see the justification.
Regards

It turns out that VfD is used as a general forum to determine what to do with an article. Deletion is an option but redirect, cleanup, & copyvio are used as well. So I suggest renaming "Votes for deletion" to "Triage".
It's more like a filter, in a way. I don't have an immediate answer to the VfD issue. I'd prefer it divided into some rough categories, by topic area. I can see that this goes against the idea that it should be run as a rough-and-ready democratic forum. I also think WP could move to more explicit page-rating levels, with say 1 = good stub, 5 = featured article. This allows level 0 = serious need of clean-up, -1 for delete if not quickly salvaged, -2 = rapid delete.
