Add [[random short pages]] and [[random pages with one editor]] to random pages options.
Add page quality 0-9 checkboxes and [[random tagged as needing attention]] 0-9 choices. Delete [[pages needing attention]]. Also part of the move to working out what 1.0 should include.
Same for cleanup.
Add automatic deletion of pages at quality 0.5 or below for 6 months and [[list of pages at quality 0.5 or lower, oldest to newest]].
Now delete VfD and use disputes over articles instead.
Add [[needs wikification]] and [[needs copyedit]] checkboxes with their searches.
Technical notes. All of the quality types need a score in the article and a table of aricle/ tagType/ rankGiven/ dateGiven values for each contributor. Article score is mean of adjusted scores which count. Scores count for three months only. Scores stored multiplied by 1000 to avoid floats if the database likes that better. Or not stored at all if select sum() where / select count() where is fast enough. Adjust as required for efficiency. Need to fctor in hit counts at some point, so well used pages get kept even if nobody ranks them.

I can appreciate what you are trying to do, but I doubt that it's practical.
If software could do this it would be great ... but then someone would need to write the software, or is it safe to assume that you would be doing that?
Otherwise, it would need to be done manually, but the required discipline to do this in a consistent manner may not be available from our highly paid labour pool. :-)

I became overly emotional last night, and I apologize for that. But when I am constantly attacked as not only worthless to the project but damaging to it, and when any attempt at explanation is dismissed out of hand as nothing but a "straw man" argument, I see that there is no point in continuing this so-called discussion. I am therefore dropping out of any further argument on this subject.
I will continue doing what I have been doing until someone with authority tells me to stop.

Your participation in the discussion is valued.
Your participation in the project is valued. I don't believe anyone attacked you as worthless and damaging to the project--I certainly did not.
It is not the case that any attempt at explanation is dismissed out of hand as nothing but a straw man argument.
It *is* the case that in this discussion a lot of straw men have been built--that is, many arguments have been of the form "I think A is bad because B, which is evidently bad, could happen", without any argument to connect A to B.
Or the argument "Why are you defending A, which is bad?" when noone was defending A (such as the Antonio Alvarado article).
These are both straw man arguments.
