The worst thing about VfD, in my opinion, is that once

listed, it "can't" be merged/redirected/whatever else. It seems like
the majority of the articles on VfD are either no-brainer speedies or
no-brainer merges.
My idea for a comprehensive VfD reform: create a 'problem article' tag
which replaces {{vfd}} and {{d}}. Admins can delete these articles if
they're problematic, editors can remove the tag if they substantially
rewrite the article or redirect it. Anything that keeps the problem
article tag for a week gets deleted.
Someone could tag an article {{vanity}}, for example, and an admin
could delete it on sight, just like articles tagged {{delete}}, as
long as it was clearly a vanity page. The ambiguous ones (and there
are relatively few of those) could be shuffled off elsewhere, and
dealt with on an individual basis.
I like that idea.
