Yup. I was the one who made that proposal (unless someone else proposed the
same thing independently). As I recall, the primary objection to it was that
it was a bad idea because "the author of this proposal [me] is an extreme
inclusionist"--true, but irrelevant.

I remember the objections being more along the lines of asserting that
such a change would allow the inmates to run the asylum - fancruft is
kept in check by nonfans, and if deletion debates are dominated (by
policy and not merely by practice) by fans/members of the relevant
Wikiproject, that check would be removed.
