It depends on the project. Some projects (MILHIST comes

are others), would be quite trustworthy and even now often nominate
inappropriate articles in "their" area for AfD themselves. Others (ROADS
comes to mind, I recall them sending out a "newsletter" when a few road
articles were up for AfD with an undisguised canvassing attempt, as well
as many projects on fictional subjects) would simply reject any request
to delete -any- type of cruft in "their" area.
This has the ring of truth. I am pretty convinced that the
longer-standing projects are likely to be pragmatic.
I love the idea, though. You mean those saying
"keep and reference"
-actually have to find the references-? Brilliant!
Yes, pretty much that. And the payback is they get to check it out
and save it with minimum drama if it's genuinely worthwhile.
