I am surprised the node got deleted (that quickly). In the past I have considered nodes without voting on it myself.

Please don't consider nodes just because you want to see if anyone else thinks it should be reaped. Don't consider a node unless you feel strongly that something should be done (and then specify exactly what you think should be done and why in the reason).

A node shouldn't get reaped unless at least one person feels strongly that it must be reaped, not because one person wasn't sure whether it should be reaped and then 5 people thought "sure, that doesn't seem very appropriate".

I'd also like to encourage people to take care when voting on considerations. If you aren't sure or don't have the time to look carefully at the node, the replies, the other node that is the claimed duplicate (if appropriate), etc. then you should probably let others vote on that node rather than "help out" or "do your part" by voting without careful consideration.

Update: I've unreaped the node because one person seemed strongly opposed to it, the considerer was surprised by it, and the reason given gives a bad example.
