So you're saying that nominating an article for AFD is a cunning way to jump 
the clean-up queue?

That's a Baldrick-worthy plan, and I don't even mean clever Baldrick from

As I have said before, if the AFD regulars put half the effort into cleanup 
that they do into AFD, there would be many more high-quality articles on 
Wikipedia.
