 * Delete I'm the editor who "wasted time" by putting this to PROD instead of AfD with the same exact summary for deletion. The nominator removed the PROD and sent it to AfD saying I was wasting my time by proding it instead of afding it.  Why this went to AfD instead of staying as a PROD is beyond me, but, delete for the same reason I originally nominated it for PROD. Metros232 22:33, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as a nn corporation. As far as the prod goes, prods can be really frustrating. I wonder sometimes why I even bother with them. I don't see the point in killing a prod to move to an AfD, though. Erechtheus 22:51, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I hardly ever use prod, and this isn't exactly encouraging me to do so either - Blood red sandman 23:08, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. Whether a person believes in prodding articles is his own decision. However, removing a prod to take an article AfD is, in my opinion, an abuse of process.  The rules for AfD stipulate that you should first check to see if an article is a candidate for speedy deletions or Proposed deletion--the implication being that if it is, you shouldn't take it to AfD.  A page with a prod tag on it is clearly a candidate for proposed deletion.  If you think the article should be deleted and it has a prod tag on it, you can put prod2 on it, add it to your watch page, and then take it to AfD if the prod is contested.  A lot of articles are drive-by creations--the authors make the page and never come back.  Sometimes prod works.  I know it's frustrating--personally, I'd like to see a rule that prevents authors from removing prod tags on their own articles without comment--but dem's the rules.  -- Merope 01:02, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Alright, I apologize for taking this to AFD from a PROD. I wasn't aware that such an action was considered out of process. I won't take such an action again. If this has to go back to PROD to put in back in its appropriate process, that'll be fine. I'll remove this nomination then. --Targetter (Lock On) 01:18, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Unfortunately, that would be against the rules. As the rules on PROD are written currently, 1) PROD can only ever be tried once on an article, and also 2) that if there has ever been an AFD then PROD can't be done.  So we have to finish out the AFD.  Someday we'll get prod updated with a reasonable time horizon about at least the prior PROD - maybe a year or two...  Don't feel too bad about the process goof, they happen, just learn from it for the future.  GRBerry 03:05, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete A local pizza parlor, expanding to be a three store chain. That isn't an assertion of notability in my eyes, and the article contains no assertion or evidence of meeting WP:CORP, the relevant standard.  GRBerry 03:05, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
