All good, IMO, except for the assumption of bad faith right at the end there. I don't see why the default has to be "delete". At that point the article's been hanging around for X days with a bomb strapped to its chest and not a single editor has seen fit to pull the trigger on it, suggesting that it probably isn't total trash. It may simply be a little questionable, which is something Wikipedia can work with.
