You know about {{hangon}} ?
Why? Article X is clearly not a speedy delete, and while I'm making it
into a good stub (as opposed to a merely decent one) I remove the
{{delete}} tag. No admin should be speedying in the meantime, because
*the article is not a speedy candidate*.
b) I remove the tag, and cop (at best) a polite query
or (at worst)
unfettered abuse as a result. "It's
tagged; who are YOU to remove
it?" It seems to be a grave insult to the CVUers and their ilk that
an admin would dare to disregard their recommendations. I suspect
the only way to make them happy would be to either give them delete
buttons themselves, or write a bot that automatically deletes any
article that finds its way into the CSD category.
AfD it for them? Third opinion and all that...
To Hell with that. I don't AfD articles unless I want them deleted; if
they want them on AfD, they can do the leg work themselves.
