It depends on the project. Some projects (MILHIST comes to mind, there are others), would be quite trustworthy and even now often nominate inappropriate articles in "their" area for AfD themselves.

This has the ring of truth. I am pretty convinced that the longer-standing projects are likely to be pragmatic.
I love the idea, though. You mean those saying "keep and reference" -actually have to find the references-? Brilliant!
Yes, pretty much that. And the payback is they get to check it out and save it with minimum drama if it's genuinely worthwhile.
