Not long ago there was a proposal to relocate the items that appear on AfD to the various WikiProjects so that the requests could be looked at by people who have some understanding of the issue. As usual that got nowhaere.
Yup. I was the one who made that proposal (unless someone else proposed the same thing independently). As I recall, the primary objection to it was that it was a bad idea because "the author of this proposal [me] is an extreme inclusionist"--true, but irrelevant. -- Kurt Weber kmw@armory.com
I remember the objections being more along the lines of asserting that such a change would allow the inmates to run the asylum - fancruft is kept in check by nonfans, and if deletion debates are dominated (by policy and not merely by practice) by fans/members of the relevant Wikiproject, that check would be removed.
