I saw one nomination that really annoyed me - [[List of Scientology centers]] - which prompted me to comment that nominators should have to bother notifying the relevant wikiproject. 'Cos it's not a great article, but it's not deletable IMO, it's highly improvable (e.g. I could pepper it up with a pile of my own photos) and it's useful to the project.
We used to have a separate page just for "lists for deletion". Lists aren't really ever encyclopedia articles, and the standards for them should be different than the standards for articles.
What I mean is *only* one. This was unscientific - I didn't go through every one, just the ones that caught my eye. A few should never have been nominated because you don't need to ask AFD to do a merge and redirect. Others should never have been nominated because they said it was probably an encyclopedia topic but the article was crap - that's blatantly trying to make others do cleanup work for you. That sort of thing. I should go back to get actual numbers, but I've had enough AFD today kthx and someone else can.
