On a more serious note, whatever kind of system you can think of, it'll fail anyway unless you can find a way to get the whole community to IMPLEMENT it perfectly. I know that too well. It's not like I have never tried to revamp the original deletion system in the past. But it's not like we have an automated process for this kind of stuff. Everything is human-driven, and if the management can't enact upon rules declared by the system properly, the system will still break regardless of how good it sounds on paper. Over time, we stopped caring altogether whether a deletion system even existed, and just left all the conceptions there without ever considering to actually delete or reckon them.

This whole voting surfaced merely because IBT actually went on and deleted some policies that are still clinging on paper, but has long been ineffective in real life. Just like throwing away some scraps, or erasing your essay plan after you're done with the exam. Nothing more. Sure, every system has its flaws, but to remind again, this is a necessary part of wiki management. You can say, like, the rules enforcement/punishing system is flawed anyway, then why not remove that as well?
