Your constables will unilaterally delete articles they think don't fit the acceptability policy? In that case, you will certainly need a policy for arbitrating disputes!
I totally agree. Maybe you don't like VfD (oh, sorry, AfD! forgive me for not buying into the newspeak), and that's fine because I don't either, but it would be even worse if we just had admins going around deleting articles based on their own arbitrary interpretation of a set of rules.
