I once suggested a 24 hour grace period for new articles, after dealing with several improper A7 requests that had the effect of driving away the article's creators. I was told that it would be "too hard" for the recent change/recent page patrol to keep track of new articles for 24 hours to see if they improved.
Can we modify A7 to work like unsourced images? Drop on a template that says, "This article may not meet guidelines and may be deleted after 48 hours unless these concerns are addressed; use read the [[rules]] and use {{help me}} for advice."

Is there anything wrong with setting a time limit of say, 60 minutes, on speedy deletions, so an article can be tagged, but the author has another 60 minutes to finish editing the article, and if it's still not notable after they've been working on it, it can go. Obviously, the dubious attack crap and gibberish would be exempt, but everything else would be covered.
