If the page is something that is clearly against the rules and/or clearly shows that someone is genuinely trying to upset the Wiki, the page can be deleted immediately.

And if they do have good intention, it's good to point them in the right direction in a calm manner. We do not want to give off a mob mentality and spook people away. There is no need for multiple people to say to delete a page. It is redundant and might make the original poster unnecessarily feel embarrassed.

For a time frame... There is no rush when it involves a person who has good intentions. The Wiki is not going to suddenly go under if a page that belongs in the forums or on a blog is left up.

If someone has an account, I like to copy their information from the article page and paste it onto their wall, and then delete the article page.

If someone does not have an account, it is hard to get a hold of them. Posting on their wall is not going to do anything. If a user does not have an account and is making edits, they are probably not experienced navigating around Wikis. That is why I like to leave a note on the article page about where they can post their information. I am okay to leave it for a few days, but you can definitely delete earlier if you want because no information is ever truly lost. Anything deleted can be restored. If the user returns and asks what happened to their edit, you can retrieve the information. With that said, I do prefer to leave the information sitting for a while in case the user does come back and re-creates a page without knowing why their page was removed to begin with.

Basically as you've said. If a Content Moderator ranked staff member or higher ranked staff member hasn't looked at the difference made in an edit, you'll notice the "!" mark. The link posted above explains everything.
