struck my ProD, the article was tagged with another CSD:A7, and you apparently didn't research the imrpopriety of the CSD re-tagging prior to deleting the article. Your deletion comment of "No indication that the article may meet guidelines for inclusion" indicates that you may not be aware of the common abuse of CSD:A7. To avoid being deleted by an A7 claim, an article merely needs to state importance, which is "a lower standard than notability". I maintain that the article in question did assert importance, and while I question the subject's notability as well, it is proper to give an article's editors the duration of a ProD as an opportunity to improve the article and establish notability which we were otherwise unaware of. I'd like to ask you to be more conscious of this in the future. ~~~~

The fact that I've done this doesn't mean that I'm for the keeping of the article, but it does generally mean that I'm for giving the original editor of the article a little more time to demonstrate that the article belongs on Knowledge. If, after a short period of time, the original editor can't do so, the article is deleted and everyone is happy. If, on the other hand, the editor is able to establish notability, Knowledge benefits.
