This is what is wrong with AfD: people thinking they can "win". We
aren't here to win. We're here to build an encyclopaedia. If an
article not being deleted is victory to you, you should look at why
you are editing. Your aggressive inclusionist (their word, not mine)
attitude epitomises the struggles AfD has.
But I do win. And it is a struggle. A struggle to make an article so good
that it cannot be deleted. Otherwise why would anyone want to hang out on
AfD? And as a by-product Wikipedia gets some pretty good articles.
