Why should there be a requirement that someone has to waste time by repeating the explanations given by other people for deleting an article?
If an article is non-notable, it's non-notable. There is no requirement that anyone who votes has to write explanations for anything. When you have 150 AFD noms per day, it is absurd to suggest that there is some sort of obligation to explain votes, especially when so many nominations are uncontested junk.
Very true. That is why I have many times contemplated writing an hourly cron script that votes "Keep, this article is notable" on each and every article on AfD. I have always assumed that such behaviour would be frowned upon. But if it is as you say, that the deletionists doesn't waste too many neutrons/vote, then why should I?
I'm pretty sure I could have this script completed before tonight... I'm very sure that there are alot of other rabid inclusionists out there that would also like to script-vote... Yes, this IS a threat.
