I reiterate my suggestion: suspend the deletion mechanism (keep CSD for our remaining sanity) for a month working out a deletion mechanism that won't drive people away
Have people been driven away?
I refer you again to the two examples that have been brought up repeatedly: Memory Alpha and Comixpedia. We're not getting those volunteers back, and in the former case we can't ever heal the fork because they chose a different licence. Those forks were a stupid and bad idea. And if you disagree on that, please explain what good they do Wikipedia, both in themselves as forks and as bad examples frustrated contributors may follow in the future.
