That's a major problem. Perhaps if we change the emphasis from "deleting it", with its connotations of purging it from the surface of the earth, to "moving it out of Wikipedia"?
Gah! Enough with these stupid euphemisms!
"Voting" has changed to "finding consensus", but the process remains the same. User conduct regulation is called "dispute resolution", but focuses mainly on finding a pseudo-judicial basis to ban troublesome editors. The pseudo-judicial body that bans troublesome editors is called the "arbitration committee", even though they're prohibited from actually carrying out arbitration by their official charter.
We *delete* things that don't belong here. Deal with it.
