There are formatting questions that aren't so easy to figure out either:
- "how do I put a footnote in an article?"
- "how do I find and insert an infobox?"
In fact a lot of those issues are spelled out very clearly. See [[WP:BLOGS]] for whether you can reference a blogpost. See [[WP:INCITE]] for a quick way to add a footnote. See [[Category:Infobox templates]] for how to add an infobox.
The deletion process does look daunting, but actually if you just clunk through the instructions, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:AfD#How_to_list_pages_for_deletion it's pretty easy, and I say that as someone with a template phobia.
We work on a complex website that caters to lots of different needs and skill levels, so there's a limit to how simple these processes can be made.
