That's why I don't really understand the
purpose of letting all users
delete. I'm not opposed to it, and don't see the disadvantage, but I don't
see why it's an advantage either.
Really I think the best solution would be to get rid of Articles for
Deletion and replace it with...nothing. Pure trash which can't be fixed can
be speedily deleted. Anything else can be turned into a short factual
article or a redirect.

Geni was right. Deletion wars are rare because there's clear policy on
it and admins are trusted members of the community who with a few
occasional exceptions follow these rules.
If we were to get rid of AFD, the creator of a crappy article could
repeatedly undelete it. If we were to address how people handle AFD,
they might actually learn why the article wasn't a good idea to start
with. PWD would call for page protection to stop the recreation,
creating loads of needless protected pages and less discussion about
something people should really talk about.
