Before writing that proposal i reviewed many, many
pages of "RFA is
broken" discussions not just in the English Wikipedia, but in Hebrew,
Russian and Catalan ones, too. Nowhere have i found a proposal to dump
the concept of adminship completely and to split it into several
roles, although i admit that i didn't read all the archives through.
The closest thing that i found to my proposal is what happens in the
Portuguese Wikipedia, which has the "Deleters" group (it has a lovely
name in Portuguese - "Eliminadores").
It has been suggested before. It's even on the "Perennial proposals"
page on the English Wikipedia. The page about this proposal
specifically is:
