Thanks, Nemo -- this [1] is really interesting info. Particularly, the
demographics could be compared to Geiger & Ford "Participation in
Wikipedia's Article Deletion Processes" WikiSym 2011:
http://www.stuartgeiger.com/papers/article-deletion-wikisym-geiger-ford.pdf
A few things I needed to figure out:
Pdc ~= AfD English Wikipedia
http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Pagine_da_cancellare
*total_count* : Total number of pdc created in that particular month
*total_weight* : total size (in bytes) of the pdc opened during that month
*total_users* : total number of participants in the pdc in that month
*total_users_edits_range_X* : partitioning of the participants based on the
number of edits . The calculation considers the edits in all our recording
from *the day before the opening of the pdc* . If the user has participated
in more pdc is considered as the reference date of the pdc older. The
intervals considered are the following : < 50 , between 51 and 500 ,
between 501 and 5000 , > 5000
*total_users_age_range_X* : partitioning of the participants based on age.
This is calculated as the difference between the record date and the date
of *creation of the pdc* . If a user participates in more pdc is considered
as the reference date of the pdc older. The ranges are : <6 months ,
between 6 and 12 months , between 1 and 2 years , between 2 to 3 years , >
3 years .
*pdc_edits_avg* and *pdc_edits_std* : mean and variance of the number of
edits to pdc .
*users_edits_avg* and *users_edits_std* : mean and variance of the number
of participants per pdc .
Hope to take a closer look soon!

Not too long ago (May 2011), the Italian Wikipedia
switched from its
traditional vote-based deletion process to an open-ended discussion process
(so called "consensus") similar to en.wiki's (lege: chaos)
Some data is available about the effects and just waits to be analysed:
https://toolserver.org/~**mauro742/liste/pdc_stats.csv<https://toolserve…sv>,
in response to my requests
https://jira.toolserver.org/**browse/DBQ-190<https://jira.toolserver.org…
https://jira.toolserver.org/**browse/DBQ-192<https://jira.toolserver.org…92>.
The CSV is fairly self-explanatory but there's some more explanation at <

(in Italian; if machine translation doesn't suffice and you want more, just
ask).
The maintainer of the deletion process maintenance bot is updating its
software due to the future death of the Toolserver; he asked what sort of
statistics would be most interesting to collect and expose on a regular
basis.
Suggestions?
