It's not really a "vote" in the formal sense, just bringing the issue up to see what everybody thinks.

As for "stricter [mainspace] rules scaring off newcomers" - I don't see why this should be so. The creativity of those who create new number systems should be acknowledged with high-quality articles about their systems (and selected notable numbers). The current situation isn't giving any of these people the true respect that their work deserve.

Really, if someone started writing thousands of articles on random numbers in my letter notation, it would be more likely feel annoyed than flattered. It just shows that the person involved is more interested in amassing wiki badges and points then in my actual work. Quite frankly, I would find it insulting.

BTW It's really strange that none of the veterans here are commenting here. If they like the current situation so much, why don't they speak up? If they hate it - ditto. It looks like they are so entrenched in the status quo, that they can't even get themselves to participate in this discussion.
