A couple ideas: 1) "Delete on sight" is unwiki, and violates several of our core policies that supercede BLP including NPOV and CIVIL and their subordinates. "Speedy" concepts also tend to promote uncivil behavior, such that people occasionally will do things like not read what they want to delete ([[WP:MFD/SV/ONS]]), and try to close ongoing MFD's ([[WP:DRV/SV/ONS]]) and even ANI's ([[WP:RFAR/DPP]]). 2) As far as getting backlogs cleared up, we have a large number of people coming through the penal system (misnamed "Arbitration," for some reason) who may choose to do work as part of the agreeable remedy. In fact, if Arbcom starts shaping up in accord with the dynamics of creativity and invention, such as in some imaginary scenario wherein they were free to interact and act autonomously, then it will be fairly easy for the community, through them, to get people to work on the menial tasks that others like myself just will not do. -Stevertigo _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
