Feedback?

I'm hoping to see as much feedback on this policy as possible. Please also add AfDs to the final section if you believe there is / was a clear example of the need for this policy. Nice one, Deizio 14:51, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose; sorry. Well-intentioned response to a real problem; but the wrong kind. No way to tell which horse won the race until the finish line is crossed. John Reid 08:28, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No need to apologize. It is because of this exact concern that a) I have gone to such lengths to point out how important a very clear outcome is, and b) I hope to build up a list of AfDs where this rule could be applied, which will show just how certain we are talking about. I agree with the "mathematical" basis of your comment, but (to pluck numbers out of the air) an AfD with 2 days to run and 20 experienced editors voting "delete" with one angered newbie shouting "keep" is not a race in the first place.
