Which is a terrible deletion reason, especially

minutes of its creation.
We really, really need to put a "And the article is
more than 24
hours old" rule for several of the CSD criteria -
everything but
copyvio and patent nonsense, basically. This would
both prevent the
atrocity of people who delete without checking the
history to see if
it's just the current version that's busted, and it
would give people
who make their articles in a series of smaller edits
(Something many
people do) a chance to actually write the article
before the deleting
angels swoop in.

I think at least we should be using the "tag and bag"
system for speedies. At least there would be two sets
of eyes on them. They come and go so fast that they
really get no review or accountability....
