Right now the AfD process is mostly controlled by the "small focused
minority" who find it worth their while to comment on every AfD. I
would put it forward that this process does not involve a large part
of the community, although it is setup to allow anyone to contribute,
many people prefer to put effort into developing articles rather than
trying to argue, generally with futile results due to the "majority
vote" closing techniques used which negate focused comments further
than referring to the "nom" or their impression of "notability",
mostly using the "google test".
