Yeah, I tried to throw that into the hypothetical example but it was
getting rather large and complicated. I hoped nobody would call me on
it. :) The basic point remains, though - the vote with backing evidence
and detailed arguments should trump any number of ones without those.
Good heavens no! That will upset people! You'll never be an
administrator with such blatant direspect for consensus!
So you mean to say that if there's a "consensus" of a number of
trusted users who vote to delete ("Delete, actor vanity") for example
a Oscar nominated actor (they just don't know it), you're going with
the majority and delete it even when there's one person saying "Keep,
it's an Oscar nominated actor"? That's insane! Common sense should
never be overthrown by blanket unreasoned votes. AFD is about the
discussion.
You're right, it IS insane. But according to community consensus, due
process is all that matters. Content be damned, we're here to run an
internet democracy, not write an encyclopedia!
