Should we have some sort of minimum time an article needs to stay on VFD before its deleted? I've seen articles get deleted in only a couple of hours; there was one that was deleted in just under 3 hours recently. I think a 24 hour time limit would make sense: it should be up long enough that those people who like the article can come to VFD and vote to keep it. --Mnb'z 18:14, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

No. Be quick or be dead. -OptyC Sucks! CUN18:26, 29 May

I see the opposite problem. Something is stuck on VFD for a week and takes up space, and because it's so close no one ever votes on it. Saberwolf116 18:50, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

VFD is NOT overwhelmed right now, but I think we probably need to do something about close VFD votes. Like call it a tie, and therefore keep, if the article doesn't have a clear delete majority in 4 days or so. --Mnb'z 19:00, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

That's what I was saying a few weeks ago. I'm getting sick of seeing a pointless vote that no one pays attention to at the bottom of the queue for weeks at a time. Saberwolf116 19:02, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

If it's pretty much a draw after a week, I keep. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 21:55, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

The amount of utter rubbish that gets kept for the stupidest of reasons, I propose anything to get more stuff deleted. mAttlobster. (hello)

If it bothers you that much, stick it on a list in userspace, wait a month or two, and nominate it again. Better yet, if you can't get people to delete an article, take the initiative and rewrite it yourself. - T.L.B. WotM, UotM, FPrize, AotM, ANotM, PLS, UN:HS, GUN 03:27, May 31

Alternately, sit there and shake your fist at the world. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 04:01, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Or better yet, you can slap a rewrite tag on it and hope somebody else rewrites it. Because templates fix everything. --Mnb'z 05:03, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

VFD is critically important, worse than thankless to administer, and hardly keeping up with the load as it is. Oftentimes the articles that make it to VFD probably should have been QVFDed or NRVed (I think you guys call it ICU these days). If you have ideas that will improve throughput or minimize false positives, please put them forth, but ideas that will only delay things are not productive. --Sir gwax (talk) 05:03, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

The point of the VFD tag is to allow the authors of an article to vote for it. VFD hasn't been "overwhelmed" in a long time. --Mnb'z 06:09, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

You're contradicting yourself in a single forum. What will you do next? Take over the world? ~ 11:10, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

I meant not overwhelmed in the post above. typo. --Mnb'z 17:24, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
