I also thought of something while waiting for your response. If maintenance is the problem, wouldn't protection be better than deletion? Instead of deleting 80% of articles on "universities" to reduce the maintenance load, why not protect them on a rotating schedule where 20% are unprotected each day during a five day period?
WP:CREEP aside, sounds like a maintenance nightmare, unless it could be done by bots. IMHO it would be better to coordinate maintenance in a useful way rather than skipping a coordination attempt and going right to protection.
It'd definitely have to be done by bots, if not coded into the software. And yeah, doing a better job of maintenance would be a much better solution. I only presented protection as a better solution than deletion for dealing with problems of vandalism.
