You misunderstand the process. Article Stubs are only immediately deleted if the user has been blocked/is an anon/left the wiki. Otherwise they get filed into the same Timed Article system as every other page on the wiki. The "Marked for Deletion" template rarely comes up in this process.
 * snip* This suggestion is asking for users (that have been absent for an undetermined amount of time) to be considered to have left the wiki, allowing for their article stubs to be marked for deletion, which makes cleanup easier due to the reduced amount of work. Also, do we actually do this? Article stubs are only marked for deletion if they were made by an anon, a user that has been blocked, or a user that has announced that he or she has left the wiki. Yes, I can see how this part of my suggestion is irelevant. This idea was probably confusing due to a lack of organization in what I originally suggested.
