Well, that's the point - we're all admins there, so basic judgemental
skills can be assumed. The idea is to *reduce* hassle for the newpages
patrollers - that they're not expected to be perfect.

And to reduce the ridiculous bureaucracy and resulting rancor
surrounding the whole deletion process on en:.

It doesn't cut through the [[Gordian Knot]] of en: deletion bureaucracy,
but I think it will help pick a few threads out of it.
