But we don't need to speak in the abstract. Take some of today's AfD entries, for instance: they include [[Bubbles the Clown]], [[Katie Hopkins]], [[Chess strategy]] and [[Chess tactics]] -- all of which (even the first) are well written, contributed to by many people, well to very-well referenced or linked, and in the latter two cases have been around for five years.
So, [[Bubbles the Clown]] was nominated by an editor who had been editing for less than 36 hours, [[Katie Hopkins]] by an editor who has been editing for less than 30 days, plus we're apparently the type of encyclopedia that has to question whether Rock Climbing and Chess Strategies are notable.
Interesting. But, really, something is going on in AfD. These are sock puppet accounts created by beligerant AfD deletionists who have been caught out on various things--like probably the editor who deleted stuff from an article then nominated it for deletion based upon what he'd deleted not being there, is back.
I still think it's a secret contest.
