Wikipedia:Improving AFD debates/Stats

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page contains a compilation of statistics regarding AfD's that took place in the 1-year period between November 1, 2010 and November 1, 2011. These statistics were compiled by an automated process, and may not be 100% accurate. Additionally, these stats don't include any AfD's from August 13, 2011 because the log page for that day has been deleted for some reason (well, it was deleted at the time the stats were compiled, but has been since restored). There were a further 36 AfD's which were excluded because the AfD discussion pages themselves had been deleted or could not be found for other reasons.

  • Total number of AfD's for this time period (after exclusions noted above): 24,281
