Yes but determining who decides what is "good" and what is "crap" is the basic problem here.
This is the job of AfD and DRV. When AfD fails, DRV is supposed to correct the error. This isn't rocket science.
But DRV also gets out-of-process speedy deletions. If it votes solely based on content then we've effectively lowered the bar for deleting something down to 50% support as long as you can find an admin to do the dirty work. That sends your precious "when in doubt, don't delete" out the window.
Not at all. If the speedy is undeleted while being discussed on DRV, there's nothing to stop someone cleaning it up listing it in good faith on AfD. That's the beauty of having (non-problematic) articles undeleted while on DRV. The article becomes visible, editable and improvable and if it ends up going to AfD and being kept there then so much the better.
