Cons: Might not be able to achieve a genuine consensus. Could also result in good bios being discarded, especially when (as often happens) an article is greatly improved midway through an AfD, resulting in earlier arguments leaning toward "delete" and later ones toward "keep", and the whole thing coming out with no clear consensus.
Anybody who would delete an article after counting votes and disregarding the one user who says "Keep. The article has been improved. The reasons given to delete it are no longer valid." should not be closing AFDs, ever.
