I regret having been so unclear as to not have made it obvious that the established forms referred to the Wikipedia formal channels of DR, AfD, and the like. I have sen too many justified complaints rejected and the people placing them attacked and humiliated for not following the correct details of procedure or using the correct Board to post on, or not first asking humbly someone who gives every sign of being gruff and unaccommodating.

We need, thus, the influence of community opinion--expressed opinion, expressed without fear of rejection for not following the established forms.
Surely the established forms are quite limited, the wiki and the internet in general being a text-based way of communicating.
Are you suggesting people take part in deletion debates through the medium of interpretive dance?
Next time I want to warn a vandal I'll make some pottery that voices my displeasure and upload a JPEG to Commons.
