I think a lot of the problem is that the nominators feel affronted or cheated when a deletion nomination is challenged - they assume ownership of the deletion nomination and feel they have to fight for it.
(I must admit I haven't helped - I have frequently been guilty of stating my opinions of bad nominations in a personal manner, and recently needed to apologise profusely to User:Cirt for my profound dickishness on a deletion matter; I will be trying to do much better in future.)
How to depersonalise the process of deletion nomination?
