AFD works pretty well indeed.
It's not infallible or pleasant, but if you want to have the entire
community to have a say in the matter, you can't expect either. It's
always going to be controversial and spreading ill-feelings but that's
just the way it is.
That's why I think we should use VFU to overturn bad AFD decisions in
a limited number of cases, like the recent Prof. Wolters from the
Netherlands. Apparently, some people think it should only be used to
review the process, but we need a process that that makes sure bad
deletions can be undone.
While the initial process may be flawless, voters and the closing
admin may have been ill-informed and that should be reviewable as
well.
"When in doubt don't delete."
