There is a straw poll going on to move the discussion of WP:N forward.

The main categories are:

Keep (with the possibility of promoting it to policy), Discuss (to make slight adjustments and regain consensus) Revise (to create a consensus version, which may never have existed) Rebuild (either start over from scratch or demote it back to a descriptive, rather than prescriptive, essay) Discard (Notability? We don't need no stinkin' Notability)

A straw poll is neither a straw nor a pole. Discuss.
