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?
I don't think so, no. You don't have to give an explanation to remove a PROD.
That just doesn't seem right to me.
It is. The whole point is that PROD is for uncontested deletion - a lightweight process to take the load of obvious-but-not-quite-speedy rubbish off AFD. If the original PRODder really thinks it should be dead, they can bother with an AFD.
PROD is intended to be lightweight - that's its main point. It doesn't need complication - an AFD is not *that* hard to make.
- d.
So then, should I revert myself and AFD the article?
