I don't get the feeling that this is what is
going on in AfD, though.
People are simply finding articles, somehow, on obscure topics,
outside of their scope of knowledge, and nominating them to be deleted
without looking into it any further. There are simply no end of
ways to finding someone more competent on a topic than you yourself
are--find them, ask them about it. But, for some reason, this is far
removed from the mind of the deletionist.
I think there's some power in deleting articles or something, and
that's what's really going on.
Admin goldfarming. If you want to level up, getting known as an AFD
regular is a good way to get !votes.
When such nominations cause problems or serious ill will during debates, I
certainly don't hope it helps someone through RFA.
