suggest deletion. The community does have - not in this case, particularly, but generally speaking - an overly "censorship! no!" reaction to "could you please get rid of this trivial article?", even in cases where the request is honest, well-meant, and polite. We should really work on that.
Well, let's not forget that the community spent time and effort writing the article, and seeing your work deleted sucks. Especially if it didn't violate any policies at the time of writing.
I agree with the basic sentiment, but let's just remember to be respectful of people's contributions. Even a simple "Deleted, with regret, love Jimbo." on such articles might do it.
