There have been various suggestions in the past. (1) That only admins
be allowed to edit policy pages, and we could extend that to BLP issues, which would include BLP AfDs; (2) same as (1) but using a minimum edit count rather than adminship; (3) that only users willing to identify themselves be allowed to be edit BLPs or decide on BLP deletions or policies. I do think it's time we started discussing these options seriously.
I do think it might help a bit. The number of editors who take part in policy discussions and process pages is relatively low in any case.
That's not because we attach no importance to it. It's because the whole experience is so mind-numbing, and it conflicts with the time that people want to spend making real contributions to real articles.
I would rather wait until I'm directly affected before opening a discussion on these policy points.
