::Perhaps link to the page where the Main Page decision is made. The essential point is to emphasise that these are different functions - [[User:David Gerard|David Gerard]] 11:37, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)
:::I think part of the point is that there ''isn't'' really discussion before those decisions are made (see [[Template_talk:Feature]] for more on this). Sure there are ad hoc discussions at [[Talk:Main Page]] after the decision is made, but by then it is too late. The FAC stage has allowed in the past comments like "Feature, but recommend not main page" (I think I saw this in the case of the gay sauna article). We should allow comments like this but disregard comments like "Object, not suitable for main page" as Trey suggests. If there are a significant number of such comments, we put an asterik when it gets featured. [[User:Pcb21|Pcb21|]] [[User_talk:Pcb21|Pete]] 11:55, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)
:I support Trey's suggestion. If we think that Raul is doing a terrible job, we can ask someone else to do it, or institute a formal procedure (I hope we do neither). But whether an article should go on the main page in three months time shouldn't depend on what the nominator thinks about it now. [[User:Markalexander100|Markalexander100]] 09:37, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)
::To be clear, I think Raul is doing an excellent job and thank him for his dedication. However we shouldn't create a single point of failure unnecessarily. What if the poor guy wants to take a holiday or write up his thesis? [[User:Pcb21|Pcb21|]] [[User_talk:Pcb21|Pete]] 11:55, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)
