Where {{sofixit} != speedy deletion when the article has already been kept after an AfD.
{{sofixit}} quite often involves a clueful editor or two camping on the article for months, reverting attempts to turn it into a hatchetjob. Which is fine; it's what we do with [[George W. Bush]] every day. But we only have so many clueful editors with time to spare, and this process simply runs out after a time.
Indeed, but carping on the sidelines doesn't help either.
Doc is not on the sidelines; this is a complaint from the coalface! He's one of the people who doesn't scale - I know where he's coming from, as I was doing much the same before I partly burned out.
I see this mailing list as being "the sidelines" in a way, though I'm not sure I can explain precisely why, which suggests I used a wrong metaphor in the first place.
But seriously, the kind of rant that kicked off this thread wouldn't be out of place at Review. If Doc is that unhappy with what he's doing, I can most heartily recommend he steps back from it.
