No it isn't. If you claim it is lets see some data to back it up.

The AfD for Rock climbing is just the most outrageous of recent nominations
that contributes to the impression that AfD is broken
[
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Rock_climbing
I don't think it's broken, but it is out of control, essentially this was
nominated for deletion because the OR should be removed and that would leave
a stub, yet being a stub is not a criterion for deletion. There are many
such AfDs without valid reasons for deletion, for fairly basic articles--the
guidelines for proposing AfD are pretty much ignored by a number of editors
who appear to stroll Wikipedia looking for things they can nominate because
the article rubs them the wrong way for some reason. That Wikipedia got to
the point where it considered Rock climbing for deletion, even if it was
speedy kept, may be an indicator of concern--maybe it was prank, though.
