I think people use deletion (Misc-fD, in fact) this way to force a decisive debate. I \
agree in general that it's not good, but an opponent might equally argue that the act \
of creating the page was bulldozing ahead without consensus (it's been debated before \
to a limited extent on the "foundation bounty board" page without consensus).
