[WikiEN-l] Re: Rebranding VfD

[David Friedland]

The real task of VFD is to decide for any article listed there whether 
or not it should be included in Wikipedia. If it is decided that an 
article shouldn't be included, it gets deleted.

To me, then the most sensible name for the page where review of whether 
or not an article should be included in Wikipedia would be [[Article 
inclusion review]] (abbreviation AIR).

This has the added benefit of reflecting the fact that most articles 
listed on VFD don't in fact get deleted.

This suggestion has been made on [[Talk:Votes for deletion]] and I think 
is the suggestion that has the most merit, least of all because it 
doesn't imply any actual change to the way VFD works.
