A7-tagged,
certainly, but how about A7-deleted? Non-admins don't
(generally) know how to do admin work. If they did, they'd be admins.
Speedy deletions are an admin task, so it is unreasonable to expect
non-admins to be able to do it correctly. (Many can, certainly, but
also, many can't.)
Wow! What a series of non-sequiturs. I'm not an admin
after 5 1/2
years because I have never sought the power. Deletion is an admin task,
but it doesn't exactly take a lot of training to push the right keys to
delete something. If you add in the social and equitable aspects to
deletions it becomes clear that a lot of admins don't know how to do it
correctly either.
The word "generally" means "in most cases". I know there are
exceptions, but *in general* people who are not admins are not admins
because they are not able to be.
The skill required to be an admin is not a technical ability to delete
articles - that's easy, you just click "delete", give a reason, and
click "submit". It's the ability to work out which articles should be
deleted. It is that which we don't trust non-admins to be able to do.
