[[File:Guide to voting and consensus (WMUK 2016).pdf|thumb|Slides here]]
Let's say, 4 minutes, 20 seconds per slide
# Consensus and voting (title slide)
# About me - civil engineer, Wikimedian, attends Wikimanias
# On-wiki: deletion discussions
# Problem: Delete or not delete
# "Consensus is not voting"
# But full consensus is almost never possible
# ...and when you make mistakes, you get taken to DRV
# So after almost 10 years of being admin, here's the model I've boiled down to...
# 1/3 - 1/2 - 2/3
# "Weighted voting"
# Complications: What's the appropriate weighting? (Canvassing? Strength of argument? Well-respected editors in a particular topic should be given more weight?) Discussions with multiple outcomes?
# But for now, this is an appropriate model
