Basically, I agree with Keith here. We need some centralized discussion. Not only is does it take a lot less time for admins to manage one central place and delete what needs to be deleted, it's also easier to refer people to that place.
Also without AFD, there's still too many articles that can't get speedied because of a technicality. "More than one person bvut still vanity" and "advertising" come to mind. They're deleted 99% (figure of speech) of the time and AFD research shows those are the kind of deletions often uncontested.
How are we going to get rid of non-speediable crap without AFD? How is everyone going to have input (the wiki way)?
Turning off AFD even for one day will cause too much of a mess. Sure, we can clean it up eventually, but why open your bag of trash indoors when the garbage man is waiting outside?
That's what you think the result of the experiment will be. But we *don't know* because we haven't done it.
When people have a difference of opinion about the consequences of a change, some positive, some negative, that's a sign that trying the change as an experiment would be a good idea.
