• Theoretically, no arguments should be avoided at WP:FAC, because the process is much more about judgment and reasoned discussion and improvements, and so the standard of discussion should be higher than that found at deletion discussions and adminship request discussions. All aspects of an article should be brought up to the highest possible standards, but it is helpful to distinguish between certain aspects, some of which are more equal than others:
  • Problems with content and references are crucial to the credibility of an article.
  • Problems with poor writing are crucial to the readability of an article.
  • Problems with obscure copyediting rules shouldn't be ignored, but equally they should not be accorded the same weight as other problems.
• The FAC Director (Raul654) promotes articles based on a reading of the comments and discussion at the WP:FAC review. The community should ensure that the discussions are polite, helpful and informative, both for the participants, and for Raul.
