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
