I think this belongs with the discussion of WP:BEFORE, as raised 
previously by you. At that time my attention was called to [[User:Uncle 
G/Wikipedia triage]]. In the light of what is said there, certainly, a 
nomination for deletion on the grounds of inadequate referencing, before 
the nominator has done due diligence, is misuse of the process. I would 
say that the ideas on the page, or perhaps the presentation of what are 
basically standard ideas, should be given wider circulation.
