AFD itself is quite broken. Decisions made at AFD may not necessarily represent the best interest of the site. The use of DRV had skyrocketed over the passing years. Originally there was no need for a DRV. - White Cat

"cleanup" is not an AfD result I've ever seen. It has been a long-standing axiom as far as I can remember that AfD is not cleanup. What *can* happen is someone closes as keep or no consensus, and then *adds* their opinion (or that of others) that cleanup is needed. But that is not a close of "cleanup".
This does not square with practice, where people will aggressively defend whatever the AFD comes out as. "But the AFD consensus was to GUT THAT LIST!"
