I agree completely with this. Content decisions should be made by the widest group possible. That is the fundamental nature of wiki.
Isn't the problem users not following WP:NPOV, WP:NOR and WP:V? And what to do about them?
Mav's idea of finding people who have a good understanding of a field, who then assess a disputed article in the light of those three core policies and report to the Arbcom (that's right, yeah Mav?) is growing on me, despite some issues, as a 'last resort'.
However I think the _first_ intervention should be mediation, explaining those policies and educating users (who simply may not be aware of them) where needed. That can be done by 'amatuer' mediators like myself responding to RfCs and 3Os, or by 'official' mediators such as a revived Medcom.
But I suppose that's just not going to work everytime, and we perhaps need a final, binding, resolution process.
