Yes but determining who decides what is "good" and what is "crap" is the basic problem here.
This is the job of AfD and DRV. When AfD fails, DRV is supposed to correct the error. This isn't rocket science.
But DRV also gets out-of-process speedy deletions. If it votes solely based on content then we've effectively lowered the bar for deleting something down to 50% support as long as you can find an admin to do the dirty work. That sends your precious "when in doubt, don't delete" out the window.
If everyone agrees that an article is crap then we can keep it deleted per WP:SNOW no matter what satanic ceremonies were used to destroy it. But if there are people arguing in good faith that an article is worthwhile and it was indeed deleted out of process then we should restore it and give it a chance at AfD where a supermajority is required to delete something.
