Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Magnolia Bread Company
This article was inappropriately tagged for speedy deletion while its creator, a new editor, had barely begun to work on it, and was still attempting to write it. At best, this kind of "patrolling" violates , drives away potentially valuable contributors, and does little or nothing to improve wikipedia. That blitz-tagging the article with boilerplate has, for the moment, driven a good faith contributor away should not be a rationale for deletion, nor is it in any way evidence that no "potential for improvement" exists. I see no reason to encourage bad editing by would-be "patrollers" who seem more interested in bulking up deletion scalp counts by whacking articles-in-progress. At worst, this could be moved to draftspace with appropriate encouragement for its author, but better to give them a decent opportunity to return and complete their work
