So if I say delete [[Template:NPOV]] (T1) you wouldn't revert that action?
Sometimes it will be annoying following a culture of 'no instant admin reverts', but I think the overall effect will be positive.
In such a case, I'd leave a message on YOUR talk page to the effect of 'Are you crazy?', and post to a few noticeboard pages to the effect of 'Geni has deleted [[Template:NPOV]], anyone agree with me that he shouldn't have?' and wait for either your response or a few other opinions before acting. Wikipedia will not end for want of [[Template:NPOV]].
No but it would probably have some rather negative effects. The fallout from restoring it would probably be less serious than the fallout from waiting around
To chose a more extream example. How long would you hang around discusing this:

However, deleting a commonly-accessed page upon which policies and guidelines depend could be construed as vandalism, too.

The template is "divisive and inflammatory" a clear T1 candidate.
