Well, here's a serious proposal to encourage discussion:
I propose <sigh> yet another level of bureaucracy -- a Deletion Review Board (which would have nothing whatsoever to do with the useless WP:VfU). The Review Board would be empowered to penalize those who nominate and those who vote support such egregiously careless and /damaging/ deletions. Deletions of unpublished garage bands can continue just as they do today.
The penalties would be limited, perhaps to simply to "time-outs" of various lengths -- prohibitions from participating in any *fD process -- and would primarily serve as a way of getting the attention of the offenders that /they are damaging the encyclopedia/ with their thoughtless assumptions of bad faith and personal attacks. Any offenses too great for that level of penalty would be dealt with by the ArbComm.
I would appreciate discussion of this suggestion, particularly by Jimbo and my fellow ArbCommies. Starting question: should we bash on it here, or take it to a Meta page?
So no action against those who vote to keep stuff that should be deleted? Remeber a keep vote is worth more than a delete vot on AFD.

No, no action. An erroneous "keep" is harms no one, since copyvios, attacks and libel, and similar damaging material are not subject to Votes for Deletion.
