It's not AFD that's failing. Any deletion

ignorance on the part of nominators and deleters. We need to have
stricter rules about how people should behave when voting in deleting
discussions, to lessen the hostile atmosphere when controversial
articles come up.
We need to address people's attitudes. Those are actually the cause of
problems with deletion.
I just remembered something that I used to wonder about when I first
arrived on Wikipedia. I think they're still valid questions:
Why isn't "Votes (now Articles) for Deletion" a subpage of "Request
for Comments"?
Why isn't "Articles for Deletion" instead "Request for Comments -
Proposed Deletion"?
Putting the deletion mechanism in an area where discussion and
comments are already the focus may help a bit.
