I understand that new articles get close scrutiny but just how do deletable articles that have been around for a while come to the attention to those who regularly nominate articles for deletion?
I don't know if I qualify for "regularly", or for "deletionist", but I did recently nominate [[Forss Fagerström]], which had been around since April. How did I find it? Well, someone copied it over to the Finnish Wikipedia, someone else there noticed it and nominated it for deletion, and a user (one of the few) opposing its deletion there commented that it shouldn't be deleted since the topic already exists on the English Wikipedia.
Yes, nominating the English article for deletion at that point is definitely a Nasty Deletionist Trick(TM). Then again, the article is utterly unencyclopedic, even if it _is_ actually fairly well written.
