Wikipedia:Revotes on Vfd

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This proposal has failed to attain consensus within the Wikipedia community. A failed proposal is one for which a consensus to accept is not present after a reasonable amount of time, and seems unlikely to form, regardless of continuing discussion.

Policy was rejected

If the content of a page has been extensively rewritten to deal with objections and concerns, then it is possible to call for a revote. The revote must be seconded by one person who initially voted Delete based on the old version of the article. (This prevents frivolous revotes.)

The purpose of a revote is to get a fresh perspective and avoid misconceptions which have accrued due to the old version of the article. It is *not* to be used simply to keep a page alive. Multiple revotes are not allowed.

The suggested format for a revote entry on Vfd is:
