Have you ever looked at a regular day of submissions at AFC? Each and every one of them is one more than hasn't been created by an ignorant newbie and avoided overworking admins with the need to delete it.
It appears to me that at least a large minority of them aren't written by an "ignorant newbie" but by a "smart newbie." Each and every one of them is one more problem that some wikipedian has to deal with. Seems to me like the whole AFC thing has just managed to move the problem to another place. AFC = AFD in reverse.
No, the great thing about AfC is no one has to deal with it at all. If we stopped working on AfC, then Wikipedia would simply lose a little bit of growth. By contrast, if we stopped working on AfD, then Wikipedia would fairly dramatically fill up with total crud.
Isn't AfC part of Wikipedia?
