The following discussions are requested to have community-wide attention:
As most editors who have been active in AfD discussions for some time have noticed, AfD has seen a decline in participation in recent months. A couple of editors, me included, have also seen a couple of issues with AfD, some of which discourage editors from participating in discussions. Is it time to start thinking of new ways to change the AfD process? This could include new/deleted things, or changed policies. I'm sure that some editors have seen issues with AfD that they'd like to see change, or have ideas on how to gather more participants that would need consensus before they are implemented. If there is sufficient support for such a reform, my idea would be to conduct it as follows:
Phase 1 ---> Open for proposals. Gather new ideas on what could be changed. If there is sufficient support on a proposal, it is moved to phase 2.
Phase 2 ---> Refine each proposal (so that the most people can agree with them) in sub-discussions.
Phase 3 ---> Formally propose each proposal in a sub-RfC.
Phase 4 ---> Implement the proposals that are validated.
Should this be done, yes or no? Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 14:18, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Add the tag {{rfc|xxx}} at the top of a talk page section, where "xxx" is the category abbreviation. The different category abbreviations that should be used with {{rfc}} are listed above in parenthesis. Multiple categories are separated by a vertical pipe. For example, {{rfc|xxx|yyy}}, where "xxx" is the first category and "yyy" is the second category.
