Unless we're adopting an extremely
exclusionist approach to Wikipedia
entries, such articles don't really belong on AfD at all. They seem
to be a symptom of simple laziness on the part of the nominators.
Yeah, it's all these damn kids who think that if they've never heard of
something, it can't be important, but OH NOES! DON"T DELETE MY HIGH
SCHOOL! :-P
I'm having difficulty discerning whether you're being ironic here, but
yes...that is basically what is happening.

We should kick all the kids off and block all schools indefinately.
They're one of our greatest sources of vandalism and they are STUPID
ANNOYING LITTLE KIDS. Who gives a stuff what they think. If they want to
write "kiddipedia" let them, but this is a SERIOUS ENCYCLOPEDIA.
Oh yes, we can delete all the Pokecruft and Pottercruft while we're at it.
Articles are being nominated purely on the basis of
"nn = I never heard of
it" and heaven help the poor sod who attempts to interrupt the process
because the nominator might not have checked carefully enough.
Any nomination of something for deletion by someone who isn't a subject
expert should be an automatic speedy keep on the basis that they don't
know what the hell they're on about.
