As I said, we'd be careful with that. We'd just have to check the badges a user has. Nothing too difficult.

Yet these articles still got nominated for deletion before, and even got voted against by multiple people. Surely someone would have tried to be careful then, which makes me very reluctant to believe that caution would be exercised in any greater amounts now.

Again, candidates for deletion is hardly a big deal at all. I'm far more comfortable using it as a precaution rather than just trusting the judgement of a single user. It only takes a couple days for an article to go through candidates for deletion, and it hardly qualifies as an inconvenience. I don't think it should be too big of a deal to continue using this method.
