To lessen the load on admins, it would be an interesting experiment to allow even anons to delete pages. Since this would be too much power for non-loggedin users, what if blanking a page, or some other special minimal contents, started a page-delete count-down clock, say about 24 hrs, after which the page would auto-delete. If anyone did any edits to the page in the meantime, the clock would reset -- or go away, if the page were given real contents.--[[User:69.87.199.193|69.87.199.193]] 12:51, 22 February 2007 (PST) | To lessen the load on admins, it would be an interesting experiment to allow even anons to delete pages.

:I don't like the idea of this. Over on Wikipedia, there are delitionists that flood large numbers of deletion requests against specific areas of interest they dislike, in an attempt to get some of those delition requests past the constructive editors who are attempting to fix up content. If WikiIndex adopted a system, like the one you propose, a vandal (or even a bot) could flag a large percentage of WikiIndex content for deletion and cause chaos.
