Please, stop. No, seriously, stop. If you're speedying articles that
don't meet the criteria, stop.
Having the article sit there doing nothing for five
days isn't too bad.
Sometimes, though, the prod tag gets removed, at which point I have to
make a procedural listing at AfD and reset the five-day countdown to
when the article can go, which does make me wonder if it's really worth
it.
Discussion isn't bad. Take a look at PRODSUM in any regard: items that
could be speedied are not having their prods removed, and if it becomes
an issue, we can try and change prod a bit.
On the other hand, quite a few get speedied by another
administrator
shortly after I've PRODded them -- in which case I've wasted time and
may as well just have disposed of it myself. So perhaps for that reason
alone we should either change A7 or agree to stick to it; I don't know.
I'd like to see a good faith effort by admins to not speedy articles
with prod on them in the cases of notability, but I may be asking a lot.
That's one of the most frustating things I see when doing a PRODSUM
checkup, redlinks because people couldn't bother to wait.
