I know we can't overdo it, but the goal is laudable.
Afd gives all a hand in the process. After I've done a resurrection
it's a doddle to tag it for deletion (which sometimes I do anyhow as a
matter of form). The response is usually very highly supportive. See
for instance the results of the second AfDs of Tally and SuperOffice.
The near-unanimous vote to keep in each case is not untypical of my
resurrections.
