Going to their talk page, asking, and waiting a day is
asking them to
do things. Slapping an article with {{delete}} is being aggressive,
hostile, and bitey.
In an ideal world, we'd have enough admins to have a new pages patrol along those
lines. One reason we don't is the sheer quantity of submission of parochial stuff,
like this. Would Britannica have an article on Bill Knapp's? No. Is it obvious
reference material, like sports statistics? No. Can we legislate for people who start with
no idea of what an encyclopedia is, traditionally? No, we have started from the view that
participation here is for people interested in the encyclopedic mission, not for some
project we'd eventually announce in the area of trivia.
