You wouldn't, but the AFD regulars resist any such move furiously.
People are happy to agree with these ideas on wikien-l. But I strongly suggest they try saying it on [[WT:AFD]] and see for themselves how resistant the AFD regulars are to any change to the deletion process short of anyone pulling a complete replacement deletion system out of thin air.
I would oppose moving deletions to such places, but I have yet to see proof people oppose informing people with knowledge about a deletion. I've done so myself on several occasions.
Please reply to my newly started thread. It's not AFD that's poisonous. People will always feel ill-will when deletion is concerned no matter what method is used. It is how people act and react on AFD. We need to treat the cause not the symptom.
It's simply impossible to not use deletion. Some subjects will always be contentious and need discussion instead of a speedy criterion to cover them.
