The current wiki vote guidelines read: *A rule of thumb for "enough support" is 8 unanimous approval votes or 15 total votes with a majority approval, but other factors may also be considered (such as whether a feature is already in use).*
Consider instead this wording: *There is no firm definition of 'enough' votes. However, if the proposal has significant negative comments, this is an indication that the proposal may benefit from additional drafting time or experience. A strong proposal will have: * *8 or more unanimous approval votes.* *16 or more votes, with a supermajority (75%) positive or abstaining.* *A history of tagging consistent with the proposal, from five or more active mappers. This mapping often starts during the RFC phase, and can be very helpful in refining the proposed tagging.* *With OSM's open tagging policy you need not wait for the wiki to start tagging. The wiki is not a collection of 'rules', and mappers and rendering services are free to ignore your proposal However you must seek consensus before retagging other mapper's work, or altering established conventions as documented on the wiki.*
