:I'm not convinced that most editors ''want'' to be notified when an article they nominate for deletion is kept. If this were an opt-in system I'd be fine with it, but I think as an opt-out system this is going to bother a lot of people unnecessarily. Unless there's wide consensus that this is wanted, I'm not inclined to approve it. – [[User:Quadell|Quadell]] ^{([[User_talk:Quadell|talk]])} 15:42, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

::I would take this as more of a teaching tool than anything else. Right now, declining administrators have to use {{tl|uw-csd}} to warn people of bad or invalid taggings and rationales. This has started to become a real problem, and I would definitely support making this opt-out rather than opt-in. With opt-out, newbies to NNP, who actually need the advice, will not know to sign up for it. I for one would definitely support this idea; though I would think of the groups to ignore as too similar as: (G1, G2), (G3, G10), (G11, G12), (G11, A7) and anything deleted as G7.

::An editor who has mistagged an article for speedy deletion has wasted their own time and an administrator's time, and more importantly almost certainly offended and upset a new user, all for no purpose whatsoever. How would you suggest people learn to be more accurate except by feedback? As NuclearWarfare has mentioned, the people who most need these sorts of messages are precisely those who would have no clue where or how to opt in to receive them. Furthermore the experience of at least one admin who has informed many people of mistagged pages would seem to indicate that people don't mind this sort of feedback. Removing the message takes less than three seconds, opting out takes about the same amount of time. If you use the template method, they can even be done in the same edit.
