Do you think? Ideally, prod/AFD should be sort of like putting a
sticky note on something saying "If no one wants this, I'm throwing
this out a week from now". If five minutes later, the thing is in
great shape, fantastic - remove the sticky note and get back to work.
If a week later, it's still mouldy, throw it out.
In general, articles on neologisms which don't
explain significance are prime
targets for the New Page Patrollers' AFD tags, and they will, and should,
only take into account the merits of the article, not its creator.
Perhaps here the only problem is that the creator is not entitled,
under AFD policy, to shut down the debate and keep working on his
article.
