How so? After all, the idea is to delay the process so that these
extremists (which exist on either side of the spectrum) become
recognizable as the lone voices which they are. Besides, I'm not
proposing anything what these people could not have done already -- no
change of policy is needed.
As such, I think it is most important that we settle
such AfDs as
quickly and efficiently as possible
In cases like Eon8, semi-protecting the page and/or relisting it later
(weeks, months, a year -- whatever is appropriate for the situation)
seems like a good way to achieve that. The more we are talking about
bold actions by individual admins, the more you will have tension,
escalation and accusations. Another option to reduce fighting about
controversial decisions would be to allow a quorum of closing admins
to make a decision quickly, rather than waiting for the full 5 days.
So, you could have:
Calling an admin quorum of 5 admins to keep and relist a year from now.~~~~
* Support.--~~~~
* Support--~~~~
=> Passed
As for how long to wait with the relisting, I think it depends on the
case. I suspect that much of the interest in Eon8 will have dissipated
by August.
