Any particular reason why?
All you need to stop PROD is one person to remove the tag. In a
dispute, people would edit war over the PROD tag until finally settling
down and having a consensus-finding discussion—i.e., engaging in the
AfD process.
This is why PROD is only a partial replacement. That said, we can
reform AfD so that we don't launch headfirst into the voting (yes.
VOTING) process and actually discuss our concerns first, with the help
of an impartial admin-facilitator whose job is to carry out the
ultimate decision. This sounds laborious but if PROD can handle most of
the load we can spare the resources.
A few thoughts on the matter:
- Complementary to the {{prod}} tag is {{prod-2}}, which says "I agree
with this nomination".
- For articles that have been tagged with {{prod}}, but the deletion is
disputed for reasons which cannot immediately be expressed in the
article, {{hangon}} (currently used to contest CSDs)
- Inspired by DFA, AfD should be changed from 7 days of voting to 5 days
of *discussion* followed by 2 days of /straw polling/; remember,
[[m:Voting is evil|]].
