[WikiEN-l] We need a policy against vote-stacking

[Molu]

Hell, no! That's an extremely bad idea in a long history of bad ideas. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia *written by a community*. You can't ignore the community component, or there would be no Wikipedia. It's because the community take the decisions around here that Nupedia is long dead and gone while Wikipedia is the largest encyclopedia in the world. Transferring the power of making deletion decisions to a small committee that's not even elected will be another bad blow to "the free encyclopedia anyone can edit". AfDCom probably won't be a good idea even if they were elected.

members' past decisions on specific subject area Afds rather than an
actual objective analysis of the merit of that person."
