To tie back to AfD, if it were a project's prerogative to define deletion criteria, then AfD could become more of a routing mechanism that delegates articles' fates to projects. I'm not going to scan AfD every day on the off-chance that a nautical topic comes up, but would take time for a lower-volume "AfD/Ships", for instance.

See the International whaleing commission for why this is a really bad idea. And why wikiproject schools would probably end up as the largest on wikipedia.
Ergo my earlier suggestion that, if we give more autonomy to WikiProjects, we should have some sort of community accreditation for it. In other words, it would be up to the community at large to delegate control to each specific project as necessary. WikiProject Schools may be too contentious, and may therefore be refused such authority; but for many projects this would not be an issue.
