Summary Blanking discussion, why this is so horribly wrong
Summary Blanking would permit a second editor who supports the PROD to blank the page (replacing it with a suitable template) after the page has been PROD-tagged for 24 hours.
- Against Two people can easily wipe a page out from existence, without anyone having time to notice. What many consider decent articles, others consider junk that needs to be disposed of. That's why we have AFD, where people can discuss this, and a closing administrator weighs in the arguments on both sides, and then determines whether or not to destroy an article.

- Thanks for the input, but "wipe a page out from existence" is incredibly misleading. The arguments against this are no stronger than against WP:PROD itself, which this is an optional extension of. Unlike speedy deletion, blanking keeps a page's history, for easy restoration by anyone who objects. It's PROD+, if you like. And it could be tweaked; say 3 people and 48 hrs. The idea is to find a middle ground that doesn't currently exist. Disembrangler (talk) 21:41, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
Vandalism
It appears that some users have vandalised the page. I am relatively new to Wikipedia so I would appreciate it if an admin could take the time to review the page and make the correct edits. I do not have a complex knowledge of Wikipedia policy and am not fully sure what to delete.
