My idea is to treat article deletion like the rest of page editing. AfD came about originally because deletion was not reversible, so it was necessarily A Big Deal. Once deletion was made reversible (Brion?) deletion didn't need to be a Big Deal.
Its not quite reversible yet:
- Only admins can see deletion history (required for legal reasons I
believe so copyvios can be hidden).
Deleted *material* can only be seen by admins. The revision history, however, is visible; all users can see dates, modifiers and edit summaries of deleted revisions even though they can't see the content.
