== So when is an AfD secret? == 

 I'm confused, you claim that everything is done in secret yet the issues with your article are being dealt with in an open, transparent, consensus-building manner. You use an AfD process as the sole basis for calling someone both rude and unfair which in itself just smacks of lacking good faith. Seriously, Don't be a dick.    

 :Pick what you want here, you want an AfD one minute from Orderinchaos, and the next minute you're complaining when someone does. You can't have it both ways. I don't have to ask to open an AfD, nor should I have to. The AfD is an open discussion which allows for the building of community consensus, and the decision on what happens is up to the community. If you have a valid and supportable argument on why the article should be kept, take it up there. And again, Don't be a dick.
