The problem with your suggestion is almost a software issue as well. Why they are done right now... In 60 seconds or less is because that is what users see on the ervent changes feed.
Secondly there is the issue of google indexing our new pages very quickly. I have heard estimates that new articles are out on google anywhere from 1 hour to 5 hours. We do need to make sure attacks and spam are removed before google indexs them.

I do want to thank everyone who gave input for my BLP question, and a special nod to Angela who pointed out the archives. I should have read those first.
Here is a second issue I would like to discuss, if the group is inclined.
Speedy deletion nominations, I would propose there be a paradigm shift from our current thinking of "Tag immediately and template the user talk *right after* creation to something like "don't tag untill an hour has passed". I believe this will be less bity and more encouraging to our users. To quote something I observed today from one good editor in reference to our jest over speedy deletions:
"Welcome to wikipedia. You didn't create a good enough article in your allotted 60 seconds so we deleted it. Dont forget to sign your posts!"
Even though it was in jest, it is true.
I think perhaps it is time we consider enacting (onwiki discussion to follow if this is well received) something of a one hour rule to tagging and templating. We've grown so...
...automated.
Thoughts?
Best, Jon
