Previous reversions suggest that issues be taken to ], but that page is only editable by Administrators. This means that an AfD for an existing article can be initiated repeatedly with a fairly low bar for the burden of proof. However, in order to re-open the discussion, I need to be an administrator?! There's a quote from the 2008 AfD that is think is quite relevant. | |||

:"Consensus, and indeed even our policies, can change in 3 years, Alansohn. We are not even close to the same encyclopedia that we were in 2005.
