What's wrong and how to fix it
This is my effort to examine what is wrong with the structure of WP:PAIN, and then turning those cons into pros. Please note each bad point as a subsection, e.g.:
===Encourages incivility=== blah blah blah WP:CIVIL WP:BEANS WP:DICK ~~~~ ===Overly bureaucratic=== blah WP:NOT blah blah Jimbo Wales ~~~~
etc. ★MESSEDROCKER★ 02:31, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Proposal to deprecate deletions and archive instead
Not strictly the right place to mention this, but as this is the most active MfD at the moment, I thought the people here might be interested in the proposal I have made here. This is to make clearer the differences between deletion and archiving. Comments over there would be appreciated. I've also posted a notice at the policy area of the Village pump.
