New Filter: deletion "popularity score" (how many total delete votes are required for a post to be deleted)

[mogsdad]

For Deletes, the "Popularity Score" (question score + top-scored answer score) determines the number of delete votes required.

votes = max( 10, 3 + popularity / 20)

I've been concerned about that "cost of deletion" when placing first DVs on questions, for example when trying to focus on questions that can be deleted by just 3 users.

Being able to filter by the popularity score would help.

Being able to filter by # delete votes required would be really cool!

This requires an additional API request (or to save API quota we could do an implementation detail request), which is a barrier to entry for the moment; however, after the refactor the logic should be decoupled from the API and filters (which in-turn should promote ease of implementing new filters and decrease technical debt) the cost of implementing this filter should be greatly reduced.

I will keep this request in mind while refactoring, leave this open for now, and add the status-deferred tag.

I'm not sure why this would require an additional API request. You should only need to change the filter used for the question request. When you're requesting questions you can get data for the question and all answers in one request.

@makyen sorry I was mistaken. I for some reason thought you could not do that. Still, there's no point in implementing this until the refactor is completed.
