Vetting constraints dovetails nicely with talent vs. funding constraints. I’m not totally convinced by the scalably using labour entry, though. One possibility would be to just replace it by a vetting constraints entry. Alternatively, it could be retained but renamed/reconceptualised.
Yeah, scalably using labor just doesn’t strike me as a natural topic for a Wiki entry, though I not sure exactly why. Maybe it’s because it looks like the topic was generated by considering an interesting question—”how should the EA community allocate its talent?”—and creating an entry around it, rather than by focusing on an existing field or concept.
I’d be weakly in favor of merging it with vetting constraints.
I’m currently in favour of keeping scalably using labour, though I also made the entry so this shouldn’t be much of an update (it’s not like a “second vote”, just a repeat of the first vote after hearing the new arguments).
One consideration I’d add is that maybe it’s a more natural topic for a tag than a wiki entry? It seems to me like having a tag for posts relevant to a (sufficiently) interesting and recurring question makes sense?
Fwiw, I think that “scalably using labour” doesn’t sound quite like a wiki entry. I find virtually no article titles including the term “using” on Wikipedia.
If one wants to retain the concept, I think that “Large-scale use of labour” or something similar would be better. There are may Wikipedia article titles including the term “use of [noun]”. (Potentially nouns are generally better than verbs in Wikipedia article titles? Not sure.)
