Timwi-
Do you realise what you are saying here? You are saying that if no consensus can be reached on whether or not to delete a page, then you decide that it won't be deleted.
The current deletion policy requires consensus. Of course discussions which could result in a compromise solution should never be removed prematurely. But if it is clear that nothing will come out of a request, removing that request is entirely legitimate refactoring. That's done on VfD regularly - check the page history.
