I think the uncontested deletions proposal has a lot of potential as a stand
alone way to funnel off easy and obvious deletion canidates from AFD. I'd like to hear
more opinions about it on it's talk page..
It will clearly be more efficient. AFD fails because it broadcasts the
fact that an article is proposed for deletion. By confining the
deletion discussion to the page itself (and its talk page, of course) it
will limit interference by inclusionists who do not recognize the value
of removing cruft from Wikipedia.
