Excellent suggestion. Even broad categories like popular culture, science etc would reduce the likelihood of Pokemon-lovers getting distracted and voting to delete an article on a physicist they'd never heard of.

Is there anyway to organize the AfD list by subject matter or general topic? I think part of the problem with the listings are that they are huge, and people like me would rather spend time working on new articles, updating articles, etc. versus reading through a huge laundry list of articles up for deletion.
However, if the list were more organized, I think you would get a better representation in the vote and discussion as people would be better able to find the articles they had actual thoughts on.
Well there is/was a "deletion sorting" project. Paralell to the "standard process". See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Prefixindex/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting for a list of theyr subpages. Not sure how active or up to date they are at all times though, but it's a nice idea if somewhat labour intensive in it's current form.
