`Perhaps you're referring to this: * these days, editors who add these links to a list often have no intention of writing the redlinked article, ever. This may be simply because writing the article is more time consuming than adding the link to the list or template. ``Someone else will do it,`` the editor reasons. Or the editor may be choosing to contribute anonymously, which means that editor cannot create any article. Lastly, it may be because the editor knows, maybe even from first-hand experience, that newly created articles that do not follow Wikipedia policies can be deleted, whether or not the editor is aware of Wikipedia's new pages patrol or is familiar with the details of the speedy deletion process or other deletion processes.  Take a look at my user page, where I list dozens of articles I've started. Despite being prodded or AfD'd a very high percentage of them survived and thrived. It's all about WP:TEAMWORK, my friend.     `
