Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Octo-sloth
Okay, so this article was |made up in school one day.  But this trend of nominating articles for deletion the same day of creation (in one instance that I have noted, a mere two minutes after creation) should be nipped in the bud.  Another user (I can't remember who, now) commented that when articles are new is the time that users are able to catch them, before they get lost in the shuffle.  I say, if you think an article isn't going to amount to much based on its first save, make a note of it on a list somewhere, and come back in a month.  Don't nominate it for deletion because you're too lazy to come back later.    . . . I mean no disrespect to the nominator in this particular discussion.  I'm just feeling irritable about the trend
