Our /de facto/ standards are flawed, at least. "If I can't find it on
Google, it doesn't exist", which is a de facto standard I see applied
quite often, is a standard biased towards certain subjects. The
somewhat related standard "If I can't find a reference in English, it
doesn't exist" is also biased.
I think that both of these have been effectively rebuttable on AFDs,
but that assumes that someone who cares noticed that particular AFD
and the reasoning in detail.
If I spent all day working on Wikipedia, I'd spend an hour or two a
day patrolling AFD and PROD deletions (and MFD and DRV and so forth).
I have a life, however, and most of this stuff slips by most of the
time.
I am considering proposing a deletion process change - Increase AFD
run time so that they run for six business days, ensuring that at
least one weekend is in the AFDs run time so that people who have work
during the week and a bit more bandwidth on weekends are sure to have
a chance to see it.
