To tie back to AfD, if it were a project's prerogative to define deletion criteria, then AfD could become more of a routing mechanism that delegates articles' fates to projects. I'm not going to scan AfD every day on the off-chance that a nautical topic comes up, but would take time for a lower-volume "AfD/Ships", for instance.

See the International whaleing commission for why this is a really bad idea. And why wikiproject schools would probably end up as the largest on wikipedia.
I don't see enough parallels with IWC to be meaningful - they have large and competing economic interests involved, not a shared goal of building a single work. And would "schools" be that large of a project? My impression is that 90% of the contributors only work on one school, don't even stick around long enough to join a project.
