Perhaps, but I don't see many articles being nominated for AfD with the reason that it's a bad quality article. It might well be so. But the reason is usually, hoax, nonsense, or the most popular one "non notable".
AfD gets a lot of rotten press here and much of it is richly deserved. But it's not completely hostile. Look at this little tale.
On January 8th a new user created the article [[Three cards and a top hat]] with this content:
"Suppose you have three cards: one that is red on both sides, a second that is white on both sides, and a third that is red on one side and white on the other. The puzzles is this: Put all of the cards in the hat pull one put and look at one side. Given that that side is red, what is the probability the other side is also red."
Half an hour later the articles was, unsusurprisingly, on AfD. Four days on it has grown into a substantial piece and will probably be kept.

It's "mathcruft" or "puzzlecruft" but once a reasonably decent article is there we just can't bring ourselves to delete it.

Mind you, I don't spend that much time on AfD so I could be missing a lot.
