Forking is not enough, the whole thing has to get out of it's wiki format and be transitioned into some kind of purpose built system, the wiki approach was great for growing fast but is hell to maintain or understand when used for content and administration in parallel. The best thing I could think of would be a streamlined kind of git with repositories for every article and an easy to understand ticketing system and maybe the possibility to have concurrent versions of articles one branch for the deletionist and notability enforcing kind and another inclusive one.

See my comment above. We have solved most of the problems for crowdsourced news-based pages and biographies at Newslines. We cut out almost all Wikipedia's problems by focusing on newsworthiness as the standard of inclusion; letting users create posts based on news events, not long-form articles; and using a standard post approval process.
