Assuming promoted articles are subject to your veto, I don't see much harm in original posts of exceptional quality, even if they are either overly meta-LW or overly domain specific. Of course, one must draw the line at pictures of kittens.

Are we really bad enough at voting that we can't be trusted to downvote pictures of kittens?

I'm not certain that anyone can very reliably be trusted to downvote e.g. the failcat sequence.
