BTW, I found a couple of other subpages that hadn't been restored that had been speedied as "G1 Patent Nonsense" by User:^demon on May 31, a reason which indicates a _complete_ missing of the point of BJAODN. Some of them were even individual articles that had been page-moved into BJAODN, which meant that the GFDL was completely happy in those cases.
This highlights that our speedy deletion process is being heavily overused, by people with more zeal than strength at facilitation, with little consideration given to the efforts of others. We should ideally have a culture in which it is impossible for anyone to delete thousands or edits by others without discussion... and in which speedy deletion is a last resort, not something one spends an afternoon doing as quickly as possible.
Not to mention that G1 doesn't even apply here. From [[WP:PN]]:
"The following, while often regrettable, *are not* patent nonsense. [...]
* Poorly written content [...] * Incompetent and/or immature material [...]"
^demon really needs to be tapped with the clue-by-four. There are honest mistakes, and then there's willful ignorance coupled with [[WP:IDONTLIKEIT]]. I'm going to AGF and assume it's an honest mistake.
Admins should take some time to read up on the policies and guidelines they are invoking before applying them.
