My idea is to treat article deletion like the rest of page editing. AfD came about originally because deletion was not reversible, so it was necessarily A Big Deal. Once deletion was made reversible (Brion?) deletion didn't need to be a Big Deal.
So the elements of my experiment would be:
- Turn off AfD.
- Make deletion/undeletion a common power.
- Follow the rules for edit/reversions to police whether deletions
are done properly.
The problem is that a great deal of policing depends on people using their watchlists and/or Recent Changes. Deletion and undeletion show up on neither.
