Yeah, it is. But how are you going to get comments if people see a blanked article and think "Good riddance"?
The same way you "get comments" now. If there is a disagreement, you initiate a discussion and link to that discussion. Only instead of AfD, the discussion would be on the talk page. How's that any different from the way it's now?
Since AFD is centralized the discussions are easily accesible to everyone. Fragmenting them across talk pages makes central management of archived discussions and admins actually doing the final deletion or keep.
