I abrogate the right to eliminate things from the wiki on my own say-so if i know that others support them. I explicitly disenfranchised myself from doing this as an admin during my almost-unanimous Rfa.
It is only by limiting myself to what I know beyond a doubt is unsupportable that I consider myself fit for the responsibility of taking unilateral action when it is actually needed.
Perhaps another term for this is "self-control". There will always be pages that can be eliminated by unilateral action, as in common vandalism. We also need to make allowance for erroneous decisions. The real problem there is not in the deletion itself, but when the deleter persists in protecting his decision in the face of significant objections.
