I'm not going to get involved with this. At this stage the only thing that can help Wikipedia's deletion process is to have it nuked from orbit. Only the Foundation can do that, if the new arbitration committee is too scared to act.
This attitude is not helpful. Furthermore, the arbcom doesn't really have jurisdiction over deletion process or any form of policy, IIRC -- Jimbo only delegated his judicial powers to it.
That beiing so, I'd gently suggest that the Foundation *must* get involved in this. Deletion is a mess and the various deletion-related forums have become a law unto themselves. We can't do anything, arbcom is scared to do so, and so outside action is required.
Assume good faith, Tony. Accusing us of being scared is not going to persuade us to do what you want us to do.
