As far as I know _processes_ can be set up by anyone, but in general they need an enabling policy to validate them. As you point out, anyone can delete links. So what needs to be underwritten is only that a closure has some force, should not lightly be disregarded.
Um, no, most processes are set up as quick hacks that seem like a good idea at the time, then instruction-crept from there.
Worth pointing out then that "BADSITES" in the wide pejorative sense seems to stand for:
"An absence or vacuum of due LfD process that seemed to be open to executive action, persuading some people that it was a good policy idea at the time, and subject to instruction creep and stretch after that, which is why some others are making the rafters ring about it, even though it is a dead parrot."
