==Jimbo on the warpath re *FD==
*FD, AFD/DRV in particular, is causing noticeable problems for the Foundation, as Jimbo has noted of late on wikien-l. (See archive - there's a lot of posts on the subject this month.) The idiocy over Category:Living people's nomination was the last straw.
I realise AFD/DRV regulars don't like this sort of discussion happening outside WT:AFD and similar places, but it does happen and it will affect *FD -- call this a notice to participate in the discussions that are happening.
So the question is how to better ensure (a) intelligence-insultingly crap nominations don't get in or can be killed quickly (b) better behaviour from AFD contributors (assuming better faith of non-regulars editing, and so forth) (c) cutting down the crippling weight of deletion/undeletion process which leads some admins (e.g. me) to go "fuck it".
Ideas? Assume for this discussion that nothing changing is not an option, because it isn't.
(Note: my personal opinion is that almost everything nominated on AFD does in fact deserve as quick, messy and painful a death as can be managed. But the edge cases are causing real and serious problems across Wikipedia and for Wikipedia.) - David Gerard 13:11, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
