No, afd just needs to *die*. I still don't see why anyone thought renaming it would fix the problems.
I can't imagine why anyone would imagine it needs to die,
Well, I've been trying to explain ... we have two forks so far caused directly by the way the current deletion mechanism works socially. How many more would be enough?
or what they imagine would handle the dozens of silly articles added to Wikipedia each day which rightfully should be deleted.
They can collect for a month while we try to work out a less toxic deletion mechanism that will scale.
Let's try to remember that 90% of the articles nominated for deletion should, without question, be deleted. The fact that some people feel the "culture" at AfD has become "toxic" is perhaps an issue that should be addressed, but let's not continue to assert that AfD needs to go simply based on the 10% of nominations that are more controversial.
No, it needs to go based on the effects on the community of those 10% (I would have said 2-5% myself, but anyway).
