The claim that "I haven't heard about it" is common usage on AfD has
been put forward on this list twice in the last two months; the two
previous times, I checked the current AfD nominations, and this argument
was used (by the nominator) in 0 of about 250 nominations.

I'd like to see an example; bonus points if the article shouldn't have
been deleted anyway; double bonus points if the article was deleted
anyway.

(I haven't checked AfD this time, so there is a possibility you could
prove me wrong here.)
