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'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.
