Should we try to re-start manual deletions or is the situation fine anyway?

On MO 1.0 we had, after some discussions and conflicts but still, what I think was a quite smoothly and efficiently working process of deleting "bad" content. It seems with the move to MO 2.0 this process of manual deletions came more-or-less to a halt.

Two main reasons for this could be:

  • There is now an auto-deletion script so there is less need to do so.

  • The deletion interface changed and makes it easy to overlook existing votes.

Are there any other reasons? Should we try to re-start manual deletions or is the situation fine anyway?

For those that might not know as 10k+ user one can vote to delete questions (with 20k+ one can delete certain answers). Lists of recent existing votes are available under "tools"; for example a list of pending votes over the last 30 days [10k+ only]. The list can be considerably expanded clicking the triangle; yet if the list is too long it can get cut-off, choosing a different period of time (14d, 2d, yesterday) sometimes yields different lists.
