Thread:Talk:New Page Patrol Zoom Interface/Enable No Index in mainspace. Put Noindex in badfaith speedy templates and all articles until patrolled/reply (6)

As far as, "noindex a page, send it to AfC, and leave a nice, friendly message on the creator's talk page" I heartily agree, though I would hope that rather than having to manually move to AfC and noindex, we could have tools to demote articles to the noindexed draft workspace Brandon described in Article creation workflow. A single click to "move to draft" rather than tag/delete would save a lot of newbie biting and still remove articles not yet up to snuff away from the mainspace and search engines.
