[WikiEN-l] Fate of VFD: A humble suggestion incorporating manyothers.

[Andrew Lih]

Two words: too complicated.

- A few weeks on one list, and three months on another?
- Creation of three new classes?  What is what?
- Complex scoring system?

VfD is already quasi-Wiki, this seems to bring the state of affairs even
further non-Wiki.

> *before* it has spent *at least* three weeks on Cleanup. 4. 
> No article be listed on Cleanup *longer* than 12 weeks. 
> 5. No article be blanked without the content being moved to talk.

> 1.  Articles on Cleanup declared deletable include link to

> [[Wikipedia:attention]]. 
> 4.  Articles on VFD  include link to 
> [[Wikipedia:endangered]]. 5.  Articles on PNA include link to 
> [[Wikipedia:difficult]] 6.  Cleanup-Listings have score 
> starting at  -4; users can add or decrease the score by 1. 
> 7.  Listings also have deletability-score starting at +4;
