Can we disregard ComCat's nominations in the same vein, then?
No becuase they don't appear to violate WP:POINT.
My point is that the number of clicks isn't relevant to the amount of effort the nomination itself reflects. If I'd cast my votes using an elabourate system of voice-to-speech hex editing via a telnet session, or whatever, that doesn't make what I wrote any more or less valid.
However it would show that you cared rather a lot (unless you had a less complex method of accessing the net in which case it shows you are wierd.
"NN, D" provides no information on which to make a case. And if Wikipedia's sluggishness is irrelevant, once an edit window is open there isn't any further communication with the webserver until "save changes" is clicked. There's plenty of time to type up a justification for one's vote. If there isn't time for other reasons, then why not wait until there _is_ time? There isn't a deadline.
Doing anything when Wikipedia is sluggish shows you care. You know if you want to encorage debate on AFD how about debateing. Go through and comment rather than voteing. Decide that for a time peroid (say a month) you are not going to vote only comment. Encourage others to the same.
