As I understannd the 'pure wiki' proposal, it is not an article deletion but 
a version deletion.  I think we need an article deletion process.  I think 
we need a speedy process that catches more 'vanity' articles, but is 
reticent about deleting other factual stuff.  There is no reason why we 
can't have a speedy category of redirection to a 'node' page, i.e. 
unpickable speedies. Finally, I think the AfD process should be reconfigured 
so that any request is tagged by a category/policy reason - speedies usually 
now tagged.
