[WikiEN-l] Changing the AfD process (Was: Re: [[Daniel Brandt]] is gone again)

[White Cat]

If Article A was undergoing deletion, any comment not relevant to why that
article should be kept/deleted, any comment that is not relevant to the AfD
covered can be considered as trolling. There should be fairly simple reasons
why an article should be kept/deleted. Any irrelevant discussion should be
discouraged if not out right banned.

Judging an AFD isn't that hard so long as you do not treat it like a vote.
It is as simple as protecting a page or blocking a user or editing an
article for that matter. If a judgment isn't a part of an AFD closure, we
are simply promoting sockpuppetry/meatpuppetry.
