What about when they say to themselves "I'm not really sure if this is suitable but it's not complete nonsense and I'd like a second opinion" - is that an acceptable use of AfD?
Sure it is. I think. I've used it that way myself a number of times. I thought AfD was a place where we discuss problematical articles and decide what should be done with them.
Or should we rename AfD to make this an acceptable use?
The name doesn't have to be perfect. Most articles do go on AfD because someone thinks they should be deleted, so it's a reasonable name. That doesn't mean that the three-word name captures the entire range of policy governing how it can be used.
