I prefer to write that way too, but it isn't safe now. There are a few editors running amuck with speedys on new stubs. Any editor can place a speedy. It takes an admin to actually delete it, but they do delete it if you haven't contested it with a hangon tag. You may have less than an hour, depending how busy things are. If you start a new article, stay and watch it.
Sometimes it comes to that, but it's an unhealthy environment when you keep having to watch out for who's ciming up behind you with a knife, or you need to spend your time defending your edits. That seriously cuts down the time you have to do constructive things.
