Ah, good point.
At the moment, a 20 minute old article would almost
have fallen off the
bottom of the 100 Newest Pages list. Which means it's virtually impossible
to conduct a new pages patrol AND give every article 20 minutes grace to see
if it turns out to grow beyond a one-liner with no assertion of notability.
Seems to me "sofixit" applies here, though -- if that's the way
new pages patrol works, it needs fixing. (I would think that new
articles ought to be given at least a day before being tagged for
speedy deletion, unless they're obvious vandalism. What does CSD say?)
