Prove it. I haven't seen any of these voteing blocks. Certianly non of
the candidates appear to be running on either thier deletionist or
inclusionist credentials (and due to the way the voteing is done they
would be stupid to do so)
Jimbo's proposal basically ensures that we're
not asked to waste our time voting down clearly inappropriate
candidates and avoids the risk of an inappropriate candidate with
substantial influence from being elected despite our best efforts.

You've seen the list of candidates so far. Which inappropriate ones do
you think have a chance? Remeber due to the voteing system we use you
can vote for every good candidate. In fact the voteing system tends
towards selecting the least least popular candidates makeing unsitible
candiates unlikely to win.
