Realistically, what percentage of AfDs really have the
outcome in
doubt? Maybe 10%?
I'd say much higher: maybe 30%. Things get deleted, not because the topic is
unsuitable, but because sources are lacking. When I have got involved in AfD recently, it
has only been because people swear that black is white on "notability" in these
instances.
IfDs are much lower - go over those noms, almost
none actually require discussion. Like anything, SNOW is sometimes
applied inappropriately - that can always be fixed afterwards.
No, it can't. There was a recent case where the mathematics community got very het up.
It took a very thick skin (Michael Hardy's) to protest with an out-of-process revival,
and a new AfD. If Carcharoth hadn't intervened then, it would probably have been lost
once more. ([[Infinite monkey theorem in popular culture]], if you're wondering.)
