This method of deletion (prod) is sometimes used as a way to force people/fans to improve the article. To contest the deletion all one has to do is remove the tag, and hopefully improve the article before it is sent to a full deletion discussion.

It's not even an AfD, just a prod? I just removed the tag. Now it has to go to AfD to be deleted.

I already moved the tag, this article links to a specific revision of the article, not the actual article
