Have nominations painlessly canceled, with no repercussions at all, would make the deletionists /more/ likely to nominate stuff for deletion, not less.
Yes, because Lord knows those evil deletionists must be PUNISHED! Drilled into the ground, pounded into dust, made never to return.
Your inflammatory statements are only serving to fan the partisan flames here. We could be having a rational discussion about ways to improve the deletion system so stuff that should be kept gets kept and stuff that should be deleted gets deleted, but instead you're just pulling out the "deletionists are evil, let's form a committee to ban them" card. That's definitely not a logical or dispassionate response.
