So how should this work in practice?
How about tweaking the {{afd2}} template to force a more rational line of conversation and debate? At the moment, our AfD debates are free for alls. By forcing a bit of structure onto the debate, might we be able to being an end to *both* "NN, del" votes on one side and the screaming for blood on the other?
The template could generate the following type of layout:
---------------------------------------------
==[[Foo]]== [[User:Foouser]] proposes that this article be deleted '''five days from today''' because:
{{reason}}
Your opinions on this proposed deletion are encouraged. Please give clear, well-thought-out reasons for your thinking in this matter. Editors with experience in this subject field are encourage to identify themselves. This is '''not a vote'''; a neutral administrator will weigh up the rough consensus and '''make a decision based upon it and other factors''' when this process has ended.
===Keep===
===Delete===
===Other options===
'''Note: Comments, rebuttals and discussion are welcome on ''[[Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Foo]]'' but will be removed from this page.'''
