I do not think "author removed prod tags" is a valid criterion for speedy deletion: removing a PROD tag is normal Wikipedia procedure. "No sources" is not a speedy criterion either; this should definitely go to AfD. --Nehwyn (talk) 13:52, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

The author should remove PROD only after providing reliable sources. If a person claims to be BBC reporter and give reference of unknown website instead of BBC website, then it is obvious that the reporter was non-notable even for BBC. That is why no reference on BBC site. I hope you understand anology. Also author has removed SD tag, PROD at least three times. Do you think that new page patrollers should patrol the same page again and again to check who has removed tag? This is wastage of time and you also are wasting my time. Thanks. sharara 15:31, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

No. A prod tag can be removed at any time, expressing a reason why, but not necessarily in association with improving the article. Again: removing a prod tag is a perfectly normal Wikipedia process, and the fact that the author has removed it does not constitute vandalism, so please do not issue any more vandalism warnings for that. --Nehwyn (talk) 15:49, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Also, please refrain from using speedy deletion tags without an acceptable motivation. You cannot just come up with your own reasons for wanting a page speedily deleted; you should instead use one of the criteria listed at WP:CSD. Otherwise, use the AfD process instead. --Nehwyn (talk) 15:51, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
