We already do this. However, we only do this where there is consensus, or the expectation of consensus, that the page should obviously not be deleted. Basically, you can remove a page from VfD whenever you are confident that nobody will object to your removal.
This is sophistry in support of a reverse onus.. The onus must remain on those who want the article deleted. This attempts to shift that onus on those who want the reference removed from the VfD. The attitude of the deletionists toward what should be deleted is a lot more severe than mine, and I simply don't trust them.
