:::I went ahead and placed the tags since proposed deletion does give you seven days to improve the article, and it had been nearly a month since the article's creation. But since you're happy to keep working on the article in your userspace there doesn't seem to be any problem ). Note that the current deletion tag in no way prevents you from putting the article back if you want, even if the page does get deleted for the time being - I'm sure you already knew that.
