I like that idea a lot, but I would suggest that those pages moved to such a namespace stay protected, in the same way that the MediaWiki: namespace is. If the pages are only archives, there's no reason in having to patrol them for vandalism.

Could we make a separate namespace for all of the AfD archives? Right now, [[Special:Randompage/Wikipedia]] only gives me AfD pages, and doing a search in the Wikipedia namespace is near impossible. We could call it "Deletion" and only put the AfD stuff in it, or we could call it "Archives" and put some other stuff in it (FAC, RFA). But I really think that putting the infinite cruft into a separate namespace would make some of these technical features easier to use.
