Of course, the rules against vandalism and the 3RR would apply. People who arbitrarily or abusively delete articles would be treated just like any other abusive editor.
I shudder at the thought of it, Wikipedia would turn into chaos, trolls would go wild, in short I am extremely opposed to the idea of turning off AFD for even a day.
No, I mean just turn it off, not Cunc's plan. See Tony Sidaway's email for the numbers: AFD is not the last barrier against the downfall of Wikipedia, it's now just somewhere people try to win arguments and salt the earth. It would result in only a few more articles staying around and a lot less querulousness and bad faith to newcomers.
