For one week Articles for Deletion is renamed Articles for Improvement (symbolically, if actually moving the page would be technically problematic), and there's no voting or page destruction, just discussion of how to improve the article :).
Have you *looked* through AFD recently? I just looked at the past six days of nominations.

We really do have mountains of crap that must die as soon as possible.
I saw one nomination that really annoyed me - [[List of Scientology centers]] - which prompted me to comment that nominators should have to bother notifying the relevant wikiproject. 'Cos it's not a great article, but it's not deletable IMO, it's highly improvable (e.g. I could pepper it up with a pile of my own photos) and it's useful to the project.

We used to have a separate page just for "lists for deletion". Lists aren't really ever encyclopedia articles, and the standards for them should be different than the standards for articles.
