Hi all,
I have an idea for PROD. You know when someone PRODs an article, and then
the PROD tag is removed, you have to then take it to AFD because the author
of the article doesn't want the article to be deleted? Well, I think that in
order for the PROD to be justifably removed, the author *must* state an
acceptable (at the very least) reason that the article shouldn't be PRODed.
If it's acceptable-at-the-very-least, then it can be taken to AFD. If
there's no reason or the reason given is not reasonable (for example, if the
stated reason was "Because Jimbo has a beard"), then the removal can be
reverted.
How does this sound?
I just reverted a PROD tag removal, and justified it on the talk page
by saying that there had been no changes to the content of the
article, and no stated opposition to the PROD. This is okay, right?
Would 'this is never a PROD in a million years' be an acceptable reason? It is how
I have felt a couple of times. Bear in mind the tendency on the site for people to think
that material should be deleted, if _they_ can't see what it is for. Whereas PROD
should be for material that, in effect, no one without a direct and personal connection
could see what it is for.
