every article at AfD contested in good faith, they could find plausible
arguments based on policy for either keeping or deleting. For the

This is of course true too. People don't think video game composers deserve
to have articles; so they argue for non-notability.
Whether this should be the case is another story. I consider this to be
an abuse of the rules.
