All good, IMO, except for the assumption of bad faith right at the end
there. I don't see why the default has to be "delete". At that point the
article's been hanging around for X days with a bomb strapped to its
chest and not a single editor has seen fit to pull the trigger on it,
suggesting that it probably isn't total trash. It may simply be a little
questionable, which is something Wikipedia can work with.
