[WikiEN-l] proposal: rename "Votes for deletion" to "Triage"

[Robert Dodier]

Hello everyone!

It turns out that VfD is used as a general forum to 
determine what to do with an article. Deletion is an
option but redirect, cleanup, & copyvio are used as well.
So I suggest renaming "Votes for deletion" to "Triage".

The VfD header message can be changed accordingly --

  "This article has been listed on Wikipedia:Triage
  because someone decided it would be a good idea to
  get some more eyeballs on it."

I'm thinking such a message is more accurate, and 
also gentler on new contributors, whose articles
end up on VfD out of proportion to their numbers.

Maybe "Triage" isn't the best name since it 
suggests trauma. Any other ideas?

For what it's worth,
Robert Dodier
