So if I say delete [[Template:NPOV]] (T1) you

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.
