AfD has to maintain some predictablity of the votes by constructing precedents so that the encyclopedicity of Wikipedia is achievable.

My moto

edit

After checking the AfDs for a very long time, it is my opinion that nearly all filled AfDs submitted with good intentions, particularly involving WP:BIO and WP:BLP are either strongly justifiable or if not, the involved articles at the very least if not deleted should be merged.

Reminders

edit
  • Drafting something to assess the notability of GNU softwares. [1]
  • Something about compagnies notability.

Notes on vandalism

edit
  • Slow level vandalism trick, each edits of the anon does seem minor for those who do not know the subject, but as a whole it becomes clear it is vandalism.
  • The anon edit undoing a part of his vandalism, which will show in the diff. It's a trick which only become obvious when doing a diff prior to his edit with his last edit.

About registration

edit

Anon vandalism is costing a lot of ressources and time to the point that anon editing has more disadvantages than advantages. Some cynics might believe that the only reason registration is not required is to train users to become admins, by giving them some task to perform. Think about it, without anon and all this vandal fight, you'd probably very significantly reduce the number of requests for adminship because many users who become admin are supported under the basis that they fight vandalism.

New users

edit

New users should not be able to create new articles.
