Thus, topics not known by your typical Wikipedian are more likely to be nominated for deletion. Most of these will be saved, but the aggravation of deletion debates is an offputting factor.

Yes, there is probably some deterrent factor. I think one can cope with it reasonably well, by cosmetic methods (tart the article up so that it doesn't look scruffy), and by doing a few more minutes on sourcing. Camouflage in a sense, but nothing artificial or that is an actual waste of time.
