Like I said in the original post, I would not have posted this letter had I believed this to be a one-off incident. But I have seen THREE such incidents in the past week, including one incident of a literally encyclopedic shipping company tagged for an A7 speedy deletion. None of these nominations appear to have been made in bad faith, but I think they are all badly misguided.
Tagged, but not deleted? Sounds like the system is working, then.
Except that it was, apparently, only not deleted because the original author noted it and put a "hangon" in there. Had the author been away at that time, it might have been deleted by the next admin coming along. Yes this is speculation and yes I cannot assume whether that would have happened. But still, closing this as "Oh, but in this case it didn't actually *get* deleted, so move on" strikes me as a bit simplistic.

The admin reviewing it wouldn't only decline the speedy, but remove the speedy tag aswel. After that, it's no longer eligable for speedy deletion.
