Not surprised. Again, it's broken.
It's some of the people who are broken.
Nominations by accounts whose
first activity on Wikipedia is an AfD, votes by editors who've done
nothing but participate in AfD, and my personal favorite of the editor
who deleted something, then nominated it for deletion based upon it
missing what he had just deleted.
This come back to my favorite question. "Are you here to participate
in writing an online encyclopedia or are you here to do "X"?".
Sometimes "X" is deleting stuff. A well rounded editor will see
something he thinks is a problem in the course of his other
activities, take it to XFD, see what happens, shrug and get on with
his wikilife. Someone here just to delete will do everything in his
power, good faith or otherwise, to eliminate his chosen targets and
rant and rave when he doesn't get his way.
As far as new accounts nominating and voting in XFDs, I can assume
good faith and consider that he's an experienced anon editor who
created the account because anons can't nominate. It's hard to do that
when the chosen username is something like "whydoesthisexist".
