[WikiEN-l] Banality threshold

[Nick]

Is there anything wrong with setting a time limit of say, 60 minutes, on
speedy deletions, so an article can be tagged, but the author has another 60
minutes to finish editing the article, and if it's still not notable after
they've been working on it, it can go. Obviously, the dubious attack crap
and gibberish would be exempt, but everything else would be covered.
