Well, here's a serious proposal to encourage
discussion:
I propose <sigh> yet another level of bureaucracy -- a Deletion Review
Board (which would have nothing whatsoever to do with the useless
WP:VfU). The Review Board would be empowered to penalize those who
nominate and those who vote support such egregiously careless and
/damaging/ deletions. Deletions of unpublished garage bands can
continue just as they do today.
The penalties would be limited, perhaps to simply to "time-outs" of
various lengths -- prohibitions from participating in any *fD process --
and would primarily serve as a way of getting the attention of the
offenders that /they are damaging the encyclopedia/ with their
thoughtless assumptions of bad faith and personal attacks. Any offenses
too great for that level of penalty would be dealt with by the ArbComm.
I would appreciate discussion of this suggestion, particularly by Jimbo
and my fellow ArbCommies. Starting question: should we bash on it here,
or take it to a Meta page?
So no action against those who vote to keep stuff that should be
deleted? Remeber a keep vote is worth more than a delete vot on AFD.

No, no action. An erroneous "keep" is harms no one, since copyvios,
attacks and libel, and similar damaging material are not subject to
Votes for Deletion.
Have you ever tried to bring up issues of copyright violation on AFD?
I have. I got kinda outvoted (to be fair the subject was to do with
schools).
Hoaxes are subject to AFD. Are you going to claim that voteing to keep
them does no damage?
