Why don't we encourage whoever listed the item in the first place to remove the item if it was inappropriate? Leave a note on the person's talk page asking them to remove it or remove it yourself and then allow the person the option of relisting it if he still disagrees. Of course, if we have a good number of people voting "delete" then the listing should obviously not be removed, but when consensus overwhelmingly to keep, what is the point of keeping the item listed?

A good number of people may and do vote "delete" on inappropriate listings. A cadre of deletionists aren't always right.
