Generally agree, but notice the specific inclusion requirements are disproportionately used to kill articles about less prominent groups. A video game character article gets a talk page message questioning notability, but the Nobel woman was just deleted for not being perfect.
there may be outlier cases i'm not aware of, but i've never personally known "tag and fix" to be used for copyvio that has been determined to be copyvio after inspection; you delete the offending material and notability doesn't enter into it

so to meet the bar you're positing the admin would have had to write a new article, which is not a reasonable bar

That's not true. The admin certainly could have deleted it for copyvio after marking it and waiting a day, but they chose to delete it immediately and say it was non-notable, the obvious connotations of which lead to the press coverage.

This is where I think we differ: I say that is a bad approach. Notability should come first, and the new editor should be given the chance to fix an issue with the article they want to contribute. The article's potential should be prioritized over its ignorant first edit.

sure, and that's largely how it goes down. copyvio 1) potentially threatens the integrity of the whole project and 2) reflects zero damn effort from the contributor, though, so it's not handled the same way as an honest noob attempt
