Deletionist or not, I'd favour David's suggestion over *that* one. It's a little over-the-top, no?
You see borderline cases on AfD every day. Deleting them outright, with no discussion, would be worse than allowing them to be.
I think the point was not that temporary expandsion of CSD is any better idea than shutting down AfD for a month, but that either extreme would be more harmful than leaving AfD as is.
They're both over the top ideas that would hurt a lot of feelings and cause a lot of fights.
After all the fights there were over a minor expansion of CSD recently, I can only imagine how bitter things would get if further expansion were imposed top down. And can you imagine what AfD would be like on the day after a shutdown? "Rabid monkey house" comes to mind.
