William,
Quoting William Pietri <william(a)scissor.com>om>:
The 7 days here or 5 for proposed article deletion
seems like a
reasonable balance between friendliness and tidiness, but I'd be a
little frustrated to find that something I was working on was gone
because I'd taken the weekend off.
You're clear that we're discussing uploads of unusable unfreely licensed media
here, right? Nobody's suggesting that the free content work of Wikipedia
contributors be deleted more quickly.
