Work through the relevant WikiProjects more?
There's a certain
element of disdain for them -- "I don't want to talk to WikiProject X
because they're all fanboys/POV pushers/people violating OWN/etc." --
that needs to be done away with; but they're an existing
infrastructure for interacting with editors that work primarily in a
particular subject area without getting involved in the Wikipedia-wide
bureaucracy.
A lot of the problem with AFD is that (a) it sees itself as the
project's editorial control (b) it's insular. WikiProject AFD.
