Again I totally agree and I call a vote on these very points so that we can
be done with this (I'm personally sick of getting 3 Wikipedia-L digests a
day). This should be done on the talk page of the deletion policy. At:

On that note - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GIVE US
BACK THE VOTE BUTTON!!!!!!! It made things so much

I agree. The current setup seems odd to me though; it is now much easier to
outright delete a page instead of listing it on the deletion queue. If a
sysop has any question whether a page should be deleted the sysop has to
perform /more/ work in order to list it on the deletion queue than to simply
delete it outright. That may be why some sysops are treading into the gray
area with deletions that should probably be listed on the vote for deletion
page for a few days first.
