What could be useful would be to leave all deletion votes open indefinitely. Even if the current trend is to delete with the relevant threshhold being met, additional opinions could lead to an automatic reversal of the deletion without having to go through a whole separate undeletion process. There could still be a difference in the margins to prevent a rapid series of deletions and undeletions. Thus if deletion requires 90% support, it could be undeleted automatically if the deletion support falls below 80%.
So you want detetion arguments to carry on forever? You know I quite like the way we don't have to perminatly police a GNAA AFD.
The other recommendation that I would make is that any substantive change to an article after it has been nominated for deletion would reset the clock for the deletion timetable. Perhaps all "votes" made prior to that change should be declared void, allowing those voters to cast a new vote.
