Two words: too complicated.
- A few weeks on one list, and three months on another? - Creation of three new classes? What is what? - Complex scoring system?
VfD is already quasi-Wiki, this seems to bring the state of affairs even further non-Wiki.

I propose instead we continue on the current path: list
stuff that can
be cleaned up on Wikipedia:Cleanup, and list stuff that should be deleted on VfD. Given that only a small minority of users have expressed opposition to "deletionism", this seems like the
best way to go.

The current path is not to keep doing what we have been doing before, but to continually improve our ways and means. To that end, I propose the following plan, which incorporates some features of suggestions made by (in alphabetical order--apologies to those who this always discriminates against): AndrewA, Angela, Jake, JamesDay, Jimbo Wales, Stevertigo, TakuyaMurata, Viajero (I know I am missing some folks.)
Core-rules:
- Wikipedia:Cleanup be separated into 7 weekday-specific
files. 2. Each such file have subheaders indicating which week the listings are from. 3. No article be listed on VFD *before* it has spent *at least* three weeks on Cleanup. 4. No article be listed on Cleanup *longer* than 12 weeks. 5. No article be blanked without the content being moved to talk.
Subsidiary recommendations:
- Articles on Cleanup declared deletable include link to
[[Wikpedia:threatened]]. 2. Articles on Cleanup declared stubby include link to [[Wikipedia:stub]]. 3. Articles on Cleanup declared otherwise troubled include link to [[Wikipedia:attention]]. 4. Articles on VFD include link to [[Wikipedia:endangered]]. 5. Articles on PNA include link to [[Wikipedia:difficult]] 6. Cleanup-Listings have score starting at -4; users can add or decrease the score by 1. 7. Listings also have deletability-score starting at +4; users adding or decreasing by 1.
Fair warning, I may reply to my own message to annotate, expand etc. the above.
Respectfully (as ever):
