Forum:CT:Auto-approving FA and GA nominations

Most people know that featured article nominations and good article nominations often take way too long. For example, the recent FA Incom Corporation took 8 months to become a featured article. It is not an article that should have taken 8 months, and the reasons why it was held up were not excusable. Any FA and GA nominations being held up for a long time are generally inexcusable.

To incentivize the Seers into working faster (since it's the Seers&mdash;myself included&mdash;who are responsible for the delays, not the non-Seers), I'm proposing we add the following to the GAN and FAN pages:


 * A nomination that has not been reviewed or voted on by a majority of the Seers, does not have any outstanding nominations, and has the required non-Seer votes after 2 months as a nominee will automatically pass the nomination process.

This gives Seers incentive to review things in a reasonably reasonable amount of time, and it prevents deserving articles from being held up by laziness.

Note that this does not apply to featured work nominations, as that's an entirely different ball game.

Voting will last for one (1) week, unless more or less time is required. All relevant matters of the voting policy apply. Please be civil.
