I'd actually like to see AfD split by topic area, as recently happened with the Reference Desk (and happened with the Village Pump long ago).
No, afd just needs to *die*. I still don't see why anyone thought renaming it would fix the problems.
So you don't think that any articles need to be deleted (outside of candidates for speedy deletion), ever?
Not speaking for Phroziac, of course, but what's wrong with that? Articles could still be merged and redirected without VfD, so any information that's not speediable would still find its proper place in Wikipedia.
Alright, let's rename AfD to "Article for Merge and Redirecting" (AfMR). Now all we can argue about^W^W^Whave to decide is where to redirect the articles to.
Renaming fixed the who democratic vote mentality peoplel get when seeing "Votes for deletion" and think there's a need for a majority instead of a concensus.
Seperating in topics, only makes listing something for deletion a bigger pain.
Argh! Don't snip so much! Check which part of the thread you are replying to! I have re-threaded it so that we can see everything in context...
But yes, splitting it up would probably not fix anything. SO how about called it "articles for merging"?
