It was tagged as a speedy, under A7, but there is an assertion of notability. We need better wording for the speedy policy page.
We definitely need to place the use of cryptic, unexplained and ridiculous codes like "CSD A7" under ban penalty. I happen to be lucky enough to know what "CSD" means because I've been a Wikipedian for long enough, but this places the contributor at an extremely heavy disadvantage (and clearly is more than rude), and if not even I knew what A7 meant (before this example enlightened me) then clearly there is something majorly lacking in Wikipedians' communication skills repertoire.
What would YOU think if you contributed to some site, and then it said: "This page meets Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion. The given reason is: CSD A7"?
A better way would be to have a {{csda7}} template which explains what it means in plain English and non-Wikipedian language. But that's just a suggestion.
