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? He edited [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not]] a while back to make it seem less likely that articles like [[Stock market downturn of 2002]] are what Wikipedia is not. (I mentioned it here, and later modified his modification, but it got lost here amongs other things that I mentioned at the same time.)
I myself would write something along the lines of "Do not delete pages that are listed here without waiting a reasonable period to allow for responses.". And if pages that Cunc wants to save are deleted before he's had a chance to make his response, then ipso facto the period of waiting wasn't reasonable (since Cunc, I believe, makes a point of checking the queue). Nevertheless, mav is right that this should get list approval, and then be mentioned here:
