Why would you propose deletion within minutes of another editor creating the article. To my knowledge, there is no rule that says that you have to write a complete article "off line", and then post it to Wikipedia. An article can develop over a reasonable period. Could you give a person a fair period to get the article going...I dunno, perhaps 1 or 2 hours, before proposing an article for deletion? (except in the case of obvious vandalism, such as "Mary Bobosski is a ((#$)*", which is obviously not a real article). I think that you were too "quick on the trigger", fellow editorOnBeyondZebrax (talk) 20:04, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I just checked the History section. I started to have self-doubt, and think that maybe my mind was playing tricks...maybe the article had been there for a while??? The article was created and then four minutes later, up went the deletion tag. OnBeyondZebrax (talk) 20:08, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

What confused me about the policy was that I see "stub" articles with little more than a title and a single sentence. I suppose in some cases those are OK because a group have editors have decided, as part of a Wiki project, that an article is needed on that topic. Also, I have never had such a quick proposed deletion before, especially for such a low-profile article. But I went to that list of "started-and-never improved" articles, and I see your point. Most people just start badly, and walk away. My practice, though, is to develop the articles into respectable product...but I understand that you can't be scrolling through everyone's contrib's section...ThanksOnBeyondZebrax (talk) 20:20, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
