Forum:CT Archive/Renaming VFD

The name "votes for deletion" emphasizes the wrong idea that not only are votes the preferred method for gathering consensus (which they aren't), but they're binding by the vote count, which is the single determining factor. This was the reasoning behind Wikipedia's decision to rename "Votes for deletion" to "Articles for deletion".

However, as we put templates, categories and other pages on VFD, not just articles, I suggest renaming it to Pages for deletion. - Sikon 15:03, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
