Waiting four minutes is not following the deletion policy.
If the page is question was junk then there is no time limit. And the "policy" you speak of is the "one week rule" for listed items which you know very well that you wrote yourself on the votes for deletion page and I later bolded. I stated in the edit summary that I agreed with it but that it "needed to have list approval". I don't remember getting this approval.
Does The Cunctator have a habit of modifying policy?
I should continue: everyone has a habit of modifying policy through their actions on Wikipedia. I have a habit of modifying policy explicitly. As should everyone else.
I have changed policy pages to reflect de facto policies that I disagree with as well as ones that I agree with.
The policy pages aren't sacred and shouldn't be considered as such; but they should be followed. If you (being a reasonable and good person) think it is unreasonable or detrimental to follow something on a policy page, then you should change the policy page.
