talk page messages questioning notability aren't unusual but one form or another of proposal for deletion as opening overture is extremely normal in all topic areas. what i've seen so far is that "not perfect" was 1) a copy and paste of a web page then 2) a citation-free article
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.

the press may not be able to understand the difference between saying that an article lacks demonstration of notability and saying that a subject isn't notable, but you can do better
