I'm sure I'll regret asking but is there a policy saying that we need to contact the author before nominating for Afd?  There's an etiquette line in  saying you might want to let the author know that you ''have'' nominated their article for Afd, but I don't see one saying you should notify when you ''are going to'' nominate for Afd.  While I agree that there's a difference between good articles re: academic folks and trashy articles about garage bands and vanity nonsense, I don't know that there's an official place recommending what you're suggesting.  Sounds like a nice-to-have
