Moreover, it would send much of the process behind the scenes (forms
need processing somwehere), requiring it to be embedded in MediaWiki,
which would increase complexity and reduce transparency. The more
control that ordinary users have over the process, the better.
I don't think listing something on AfD is necessarily that complex
anyway. And if the first suggestion above (24 hour wait before voting)
were to be implemented, then users could simply tag an article {afd},
much like they would tag it {db}, and the complicated part could be
finished off by an admin at the end of the 24 hours.
