You know about {{hangon}} ?
Why? Article X is clearly not a speedy delete, and while I'm making it
into a good stub (as opposed to a merely decent one) I remove the
{{delete}} tag. No admin should be speedying in the meantime, because
*the article is not a speedy candidate*.
Ok, but at this point, you're saying that two separate people think the
article is speedyable - the person who put the tag, and another admin who
deleted it even without the tag. And from a pragmatic point of view, you had
to edit and save the article to rm the {{delete}} tag, and you had to
edit/save to add the new text - you wouldn't be losing a lot using
{{hangon}}. But it's your call.

To Hell with that. I don't AfD articles unless I want them deleted; if
they want them on AfD, they can do the leg work
themselves.
I can see how "to hell with that" might be taken as a "grave insult",
yes.
