Competence shall not be policy. Currently, there is no official rule about competence. Listing official criteria for competence is not easy to construct. Also, the "Competence" policy would be arbitrary, draconian, and undemocratic. The essay Wikipedia:Competence is required is an alternative to creating an official rule about competence.
