I don't think it is workable while some administrators will delete such articles again. It needs more discussion. I've been thinking about it. Possibly having the articles moved out of article space into project space, with a soft redirect from an appropriate template, would answer some concerns.
Create a review namespace and I might support a version of this
I would really like to have the articles editable while temporarily undeleted, but this may not be possible. Every editor being able to see them would be a start, though.
But I'm still concerned that some particularly entrenched, process-committed administrators will torpedo any such initiative, in any case. They need to be talked round. I'm just the ideas man; somebody else needs to take the ball and run with it, if it's such a good idea.
"process-committed administrators" are not conservatives. They just want you to stick to policy. You are of course free to change that policy by the normal root. Discusion to hammer out a soild policy suggestion. Presenting it to anyone who cares to try and gain a consensus and perhaps some further modification in order to do so. Then depending on the level of support either institute it or hold a final vote to see if you can get enough support to do so.
