Deletionists.
—C.W.
Dang, I'm not ever playing darts with you, there'd be no room in the
bullseye for anyone else.
Here's some more good ones, including a couple of nominations by folks
not sure an article should be deleted, and one by an editor who thinks
an article shouldn't be deleted--yes, nominated by an editor who
thinks it shouldn't be deleted. Got a good one along the lines of
[[Rock climbing]]--still my personal favorite AfD nomination.
More off target deletionist AfDs
Instead of discussing article quality and lack of sources on the
article's talk page:
"This article on a Turkish professor lacks sources and contains
numerous vague assertions ("He published many books and articles"
without explaining further). I am unsure whether an article on him
would be encyclopedic, and think some discussion on this would be
useful."

In other words, the nominator himself/herself doesn't know if it
should be deleted, so they've put it up for deletion for others to
decide.
A quick google and scholar search turns up all sorts of information on
the subject, but the nominator couldn't be bothered to do
that--actually less work than the nomination for deletion.
Here's another deletionist, he didn't have to state which criteria for
deletion the article met, because it was obvious to him!

Nominated because it did NOT SEEM to merit an entry--not because it
didn't merit an entry, mind you, because it didn't seem to.

Here's a good one, [[User:Haemo]] is nominating an AfD that even
he/she doesn't have an opinion on whether or not it should be
deleted--in other words, this user is a deletionist!

Here we go, a well-known organization (although possibly not as well
known as [[Rock climbing]] when it was nominated for deletion)
nominated for deletion by a deletionist:

Here's an editor who nominated an AfD based upon his dislike of the
news media being able to decide what's notable!!!! Morals and ethics?
Who cares when we want to rule the world.

It get's better, nominated for deletion even though the nominator
thinks it should be kept, and gets speedily kept--now that's a
singular use of editoral time:
