Sure there are articles that can be discussed for five days or so (is it really seven now?)

I meant people turning up at the admin noticeboards to ask for a WP:SNOW closure. Those people too should be firmly pointed back to AfD and told to be patient. Lack of evidence is not proof.
This discussion is not about a hoax article, but makes my point:
