That's why I don't really understand the purpose of letting all users delete. I'm not opposed to it, and don't see the disadvantage, but I don't see why it's an advantage either. Really I think the best solution would be to get rid of Articles for Deletion and replace it with...nothing. Pure trash which can't be fixed can be speedily deleted. Anything else can be turned into a short factual article or a redirect. Anthony
Geni was right. Deletion wars are rare because there's clear policy on it and admins are trusted members of the community who with a few occasional exceptions follow these rules.
If we were to get rid of AFD, the creator of a crappy article could repeatedly undelete it. If we were to address how people handle AFD, they might actually learn why the article wasn't a good idea to start with. PWD would call for page protection to stop the recreation, creating loads of needless protected pages and less discussion about something people should really talk about.
