There are other standards? Either you accept our standards as universally correct or they are flawed and need to be reworked.
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.
