The "prod" tag probably saves time in
this respect. The only disadvantage with this is that it may cause
good but inactive articles to get deleted simply because nobody
removes an improperly added prod. That's why a "prod patrol" would be
a good idea if there already isn't one.
This is easy and possible; the interested can always do so.
Thankfully, the process of undeleting a PROD is as lightweight as
placing a PROD - that is, an admin can Just Undelete. (Presumably an
editor would then want to improve the article so people wouldn't want
to PROD it again.)
I,m sure that a common vision of
"antideletionists" is of this geek
with no life sitting around all day pressing the random button looking
for deletable articles similar to the image of the antispammer sitting
in front of his PC waiting for spam to come in so he can complain
about it. (now of days he doesn't have to wait long :(
Anyone who thinks they're an "inclusionist" should do Special:Newpages
patrol some time. OH MY GOODNESS THE FIREHOSE OF CRAP!
