This fails to address the case where the jawdropping lack of good judgement is the actual problem with the nominations, and that poisons AFD in general. Pretending the actual problem isn't a problem is not really an option any more.
Perhaps it would be best not to try and deal with that on individual AFDs. If someone routinely makes bad nominations, start a single discussion about it rather than complaining on every AFD - RFC would probably be a good place to start.
It's going to take a multi-level approach. The rot has been allowed to grow for a long time.
