Wikipedia talk:Community approval of new articles
Initial thoughts
[edit]No. Completely unnecessary, completely silly, and i'm fairly certain this has been floated before in a similar form and soundly rejected. --badlydrawnjeff talk 22:21, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Classic instruction creep and anti-wiki. Davodd 22:37, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Even though I think this is a bad idea, I also think it could be useful to develop this page as a record of why it's a bad idea for future reference. C. M. Harris has demonstrated a very reasonable attitude towards his own proposal, including his acknowledgment of drawbacks. Melchoir 23:25, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Totally impossible. Wikipedia currently keeps around 2,500 new pages a day, with another 3,000 being deleted. Implementing this procedure would consume the full effort of every active editor and sysadmin, and I can't be sure they wouldn't be overwhelmed even so. --Carnildo 00:05, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
