If someone submits a comment to the effect that a node should be deleted for no Perl content, but I look at it and decide that the node does, but needs a formatting edit, I want to vote to that effect, rather than waiting some indeterminant time for the delete vote to settle, so that I can reconsider the node with a "this needs an edit" comment.

I don't like the idea. Voting edit to have the formatting fixed when someone asked for it to be deleted is just weird; and the editor has to guess at what you wanted fixed. Title? Formatting? Something else? Voting delete when someone only considered for editing is outright bad: the edit reason will show up as delete reason on the reaped node.

A better idea that begs the question whether it can be added to the current system easily:

To be able to consider a node separately for both editing and deletion at the same time with different reasons. A node considered for deletion would not offer a vote for edit, and vice versa. If someone does consider it for editing, it then offers to vote edit for the edit reason, delete for the delete reason, or a blanket "keep".

Makeshifts last the longest.
