Replacing AfD means instead of a decision being located in a central spot where it is open and accountable, you will have decisions being made by one or two people. You will then end up with hellacious disputes at Undeletion and accusations of Admins acting in bad faith.
While there may be grounds for expanding the Criteria for Speedy deletion, there are always going to be cases where more careful consideration is required.

So turn off AfD, and then we can find out what those cases are. Maybe there will be some types of articles which we can't come up with objective criteria. Fine, then we come up with subjective criteria and let people vote on whether or not the article meets those criteria. Yes, it means AfD would be back, but only for a subset of articles, and in a much more streamlined form.
We can sit here talking about it, or we can just try it and see.
