Unfortunately I'm seeing this tool used for rapid unconvincing voting at AfD such as at the films deletion sorting page. Voting at AfD is easy enough and does not need to be made even more rapid than is often the case. Atlantic306 (talk) 03:58, 9 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep - While yes I do recognize that this may be used for voting quickly, it is at the end of the day up to the contributor, not the creator of a tool, to make sure that they are not violating policy with this tool. This is actually helpful when reviewing individual pages, as you can cast your vote without having to go to the XfD page. If needbe, we can discuss limiting usage of the tool to users with a certain number of edits. Aasim (talk) 04:06, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * This argument could also be used for other scripts - for example, Twinkle could be used for quick nomination of pages for deletion, or for reverting edits quickly, etc. The purpose of creating this tool was to facilitate AfD discussions by allowing anyone to review the page before casting their vote. I do not see any Bot policy problems here. Aasim (talk) 04:11, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't think it is at all helpful to enable casting of your vote without going to the Xfd page. The discussion should be read and considered before making an argument to keep or delete etc rather than a driveby vote Atlantic306 (talk) 04:59, 9 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep This seems like it could be a useful tool, and Assim also makes good points regarding this tool's usefulness. Royal Autumn Crest (talk) 05:08, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: AfD needs common sense. This tool does not bypass that. As per the above. --Whiteguru (talk) 19:47, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: Not seeing the nomination statement is nearly a reason for deletion. Possibly, the nom needs to raise the problem as a behavioural issue.  Are other users !voting poorly because of this tool? SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:51, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - Besides WP:SEMIAUTO and, to a tangential extent, WP:VOTETEMP, we do not seem to have much guidance concerning semi-automated !voting tools. This seems like it is something that would have almost certainly been discussed in the past, but I cannot seem to find anything offhand. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 01:19, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
