Bryan,
If you had knowledge, that suggested it was worthy of retention, why didn't
you contribute to the debate?
BTW, I think that AfD works well and generally the decision that is made at
the end of the day is the correct one. I am disinclined to support an
alternative unless I am sure that I will work better than the current
system. So for, none of the suggested alternatives have met that standard in
that view.
Any system regarding the deletion of articles will only work as well as the
participation of members in it.
Regards

I just came across this AfD when a link to the deleted article was
removed from another I had watchlisted:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_Jar
I never read the webcomic The Jar myself, but I know that it existed and
was popular, and also that when Kittyhawk moved on to other projects the
webcomic's archive was taken offline. The nominator saw the resulting
lack of Google results and nominated it solely on account of "none
notability." As a result of this grand consensus of four voters, three
of whom explained their vote with "nn" and one with "as per nom",
Wikipedia will forever more lack an article on this topic. Kind of a
pity since I've always been curious about what I missed - I've been told
that it had a better plot than Kittyhawk's current strip, which survived
a VfD last year.
There were tons of great ideas being kicked around on this mailing list
a few weeks back for how to change the deletion process, either as a
short-term experiment or long-term reform, has it all quietly passed
from everyone's radars now? Or is there some other forum the discussion
moved to that I missed?
