Examples would be a perfect place to start. There appear to be two main criticisms of AfD:
- Unreliability. This appears to be your point.
- Bad and unhealthy atmosphere.
I would appreciate (from anyone) evidence for either of these. Despite all the comments about AfD's foibles and failings, I personally have not seen them in action.
These comments are not intended to be difficult. I am just not currently certain why changes need to be made.
Yours, Sam
It's not AFD that's failing. Any deletion system can be faulted by ignorance on the part of nominators and deleters. We need to have stricter rules about how people should behave when voting in deleting discussions, to lessen the hostile atmosphere when controversial articles come up.
We need to address people's attitudes. Those are actually the cause of problems with deletion.
