How is anybody supposed to know that there was anything to ask an admin to
delete?

Why are we obsessed with scuttling possibly-useful information just because
we can't use it RIGHT NOW...and why do we then jump all over newbies when
they ask questions to which they could have found the answers if the
relevant pages had not been speedied by some crazed tagger wanting to "level
up"?
