nice how you can just pigeonhole all of the people who make frequent use of
VfD into ONE category?) what useful purpose all of these steps serve.

Funny, I don't think I used the word deletionist anywhere in what I wrote
(the subject has it, but that's because I don't change subject lines in
replies). I'm trying to avoid it.
All of these steps? I proposed a few different possible actions, but under
the one I currently favor, this is all the steps:
1. redirect to [[Wikipedia:Junk page]]
2. Check the 'What links here' on that page periodically to see if you see
anything to be rescued.
3. post-moratorium, check the 'What links here' on that page and decide what
to get rid of.

I think that's equal to or less than adding it to VFD, adding a VFD notice
to the page, and then dealing with VFD discussion.
