Articles for Deletion Patrol is a volunteer-led patrol which refers to the act of patrolling Articles for Deletion (AfD) and encouraging productive responses to AfD proposals, including helping nominations and discussion conform to deletion policy.
AfD Patrollers believe that Wikipedia will benefit from AfD being applied in a consistent, measured, and policy-driven manner rather than as a popularity contest.
AfD Patrol is completely voluntary. Anyone can be involved with AfD Patrol, but it is recommended primarily for experienced Wikipedians who have a good understanding of AfD and Wikipedia policies in general.
