Your ratio of controversial articles seems about
right. The problem is
in the tenacity with which controversial deletions are protected. No
damage would be done by allowing the controversial ones more time, or

as it takes.
Prolonginf conflict is not a good idea.
It would depend on the circumstances of the conflict, wouldn't it? In
cases where there's genuine debate going on, it doesn't make sense to
arbitrarily cut it off at some deadline rather than letting it continue
until a clear decision is reached. If it stalemates then perhaps a
deadline can come into play but it shouldn't be required as a universal
solution.
"Conflict" is not inherently bad, it's part of how disagreements can be
resolved.
