Spacepotato remove the prod four days after it was added in 2007, which is why the article wasn't deleted, which only happens after 5 days. (It reads as expired in the history because the version with the prod is now a lot more than 5 days old.) Because WP:PROD is for completely uncontroversial deletions, articles should basically never be reprodded, even if you don't agree with the reasons that the prod remover gave, or even if no reasons were given, even if it seems POV or fallacious.. When it comes time to delete expired prods, admins should and almost always do either send it to AfD if they think it deserves deletion, or remove the prod if they think it doesn't. So reprodding is usually pointless and will delay the process of deletion by 5 days (compared to nominating it for AfD), not speed it up.

Spacepotato's refs may or may not be good enough - I haven't even bothered looking at them - but at least they are refs, so his removal did have a real reason. Whether they are good enough to prevent a consensus for deletion at AfD is something only a deletion debate could answer. Local news is sometimes good enough there, although wider coverage is always better. Regards,John Z (talk) 02:01, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
