Unless we're adopting an extremely exclusionist approach to Wikipedia entries, such articles don't really belong on AfD at all. They seem to be a symptom of simple laziness on the part of the nominators.
Yeah, it's all these damn kids who think that if they've never heard of something, it can't be important, but OH NOES! DON"T DELETE MY HIGH SCHOOL! :-P
I'm having difficulty discerning whether you're being ironic here, but yes...that is basically what is happening.

We should kick all the kids off and block all schools indefinately. They're one of our greatest sources of vandalism and they are STUPID ANNOYING LITTLE KIDS. Who gives a stuff what they think. If they want to write "kiddipedia" let them, but this is a SERIOUS ENCYCLOPEDIA.
Oh yes, we can delete all the Pokecruft and Pottercruft while we're at it.
Articles are being nominated purely on the basis of "nn = I never heard of it" and heaven help the poor sod who attempts to interrupt the process because the nominator might not have checked carefully enough.
Any nomination of something for deletion by someone who isn't a subject expert should be an automatic speedy keep on the basis that they don't know what the hell they're on about.
