That beiing so, I'd gently suggest that the Foundation *must* get involved in this. Deletion is a mess and the various deletion-related forums have become a law unto themselves. We can't do anything, arbcom is scared to do so, and so outside action is required.
Who is the "we" who can't do anything? The community? I do not want to believe that the community as a whole is in such a bad state that it could fail to reform its own processes without interference from some perceived "higher body" - a body that was certainly not elected to reform deletion processes on the English Wikipedia. If you really think a body is needed to do that, perhaps it time to elect one of those instead of relying on one elected to do something entirely different.
