The answer for AfD:
Get rid of it. Allow anyone to delete articles. Anyone who tries to create
an article or clicks on a link to a deleted article will get the
notification that previously deleted entries exist (the message that admins
get for deleted articles). Allow anyone to view and restore those edits.
That is, because deletion is now non-destructive (i.e., reversible), there's
no need to restrict the power -- or the power to restore. The rules about
edit wars and reversions apply as normal.
The rules about edit wars don't work very well (and since when was
image deletion reversible?). I'm sure you can find all the other
objections to pure wiki deletion if you look around a bit.
Only exception: copyright infringement/illegal
content. Those go through the
AfD process, are hard-deleted. That's it.
If we are going to have to start takeing copyvios through AFD we are
in real trouble
