Yes, rapid fire drive-by-deletion is out of control. People list articles within minutes of their creation, without doing even basic due dilligence to see whether they meet the criteria for deletion. Mark

In the course of less than an hour I have come across one speedy delete notice, two Wiktionary move notices, and a VfD notice, all attached to new short mathematics pages. All of which would properly be labelled stubs.
The Wikipedians responsible don't have specialist knowledge - they seem to feel that remedies for stubs other than stub notices should exist (and in one case, thinks that if it looks like a typographjc mess, it must be nonsense).
As far as I'm concerned, Wikipedia still needs stubs to grow, precisely in areas where it is currently weak.
