Annoyingly, it's true that a few users at de: seem to do nothing else then filing \
requests for deletion. I don't ignore that fact. One even picked the user name \
"Löschantrag" (='request for deletion') but is on the verge of being blocked AFAIK. \
What I wanted to point out is that these outrages by no means reflect the spirit of \
the German WP. The community is aware of the "Löschwahn" a few people have fallen \
prey to and the way they can harm the project e. g. by daunting off newcomers writing \
their first article.

Btw, I have written about 80 stubs for de: (and expanded most of them to full-size \
articles by now!) and only got one rfd ever and that one was pretty well justified. \
My experience: as long as your stubs contain the very basic facts about the subject \
("where?", "who?", "when?", "why?")  they are 100% delete-o-maniac-proof.

Regards,
Boris
