Then again, loving bridges, he may not find it in is heart to delete _any_ article about them that has sources. Which, to a certain extent, is fine with me, but it does have the potential to significantly change the whole "deletionism/inclusionism" balance. Imagine the same concept applied to Star Trek experts. "Tribble Rebellion of 2280? SPEEDY KEEP!"
Topical AfD is not a bad idea as long as these subcommunities are as open as the general AfD, and the only process by which they distinguish themselves is one of self-selection. That is, my opinion on a topical AfD should not count less because I have not worked in that topical AfD before.
