I think this would be an interesting experiment.
Instead of
deletionist and inclusionist camps throwing around anecdotes, you
get a sizeable body of candidates to study, plus it encourages people
to think about the process that they want to follow when the period
ends and they have a whole pile of articles they want to process
efficiently.
The inclusionist camp could of course just obstruct everything.
We'll discover, how often borderline articles
gets
improved into good ones when left alone, or get made into redirs to
existing articles. Some articles might be unfairly speedied, but
if they're being tracked from a protected list, I think admins will
leave the marginals to accumulate rather than risk being sanctioned
for deleting worthwhile material out of hand.
What risk? Admins on RC patrol will be able to delete stuff before
anyone else has time to react and digging thourgh the deletion log
when you don't have admin powers is imposible and when you do it is
insanely boring.
