Line 25:

##Voters have decreasingly been deliberating or disinterested or sufficiently numerous.

##"Political parties" have developed that marshal mass votes without regard to article content.

##Those clearing VfD have decided (and this '''is''' new, Tony) that failure to have consensus for delete or merge is the same thing as a consensus for keeping, when consensus-keep, consensus-delete, and consensus-merge are different things altogether, and it is as impossible to find a "rule" saying "consensus = X%" or "failure to achieve consensus specificially for delete or merge is a consensus to keep" as it is to find a specific rule saying "The plurality is honored in the event of a lack of consensus." The reason is that voters and arbiters are increasingly law-gaming, as they see VfD as ''non-deliberative'' and, instead, a venue for instant death and immortal life decisions.

##Speedy delete has expanded to relieve the bulge in VfD.

##Mis-tagged speedy deletes have expanded to relieve the bulge left in VfD after the expansion of speedy delete cases.
