Alternative Interfaces for Deletion Discussions in Wikipedia: Some Proposals Using Decision Factors - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2012, written by Jodi Schneider and Krystian Samp.

Overview

Content deletion is an important mechanism for maintaining quality in online communities. In Wikipedia, deletion is guided by complex procedures. Controversial cases (~12% [4]) are sent to special community discussions called "Articles for Deletion" (AfD). Deciding the outcome of these deletion debates can be difficult. Further, deletion seems to be a point of friction, which demotivates new editors without sufficiently informing them about Wikipedia's values and standards.
