But that's not what this proposal is asking for. It's asking to be allowed to delete the listing if the person who deleted it doesn't agree with the reason for listing.

OK, that is a possible loophole. How would you phrase it?

No, it's not. Take a look at the original proposal itself, posted 3/4/2005 10:12 AM:
"Any VFD nomination not listing a reason in Wikipedia:Deletion policy may be summarily removed from the page."
Only VfD listings that don't provide any reason reason for their existence would be covered by this, not VfD listings with reasons provided that someone happens to disagree with. This seems more of a change in formatting rules than it is a change in how the process of VfD itself works.
