There is almost always a way of removing real junk immediately. 99% of
the time it fits speedy-- and gets deleted. (I do my share, and have
very little tolerance for self-advertising and pranks, and this is
also true of KP and all similarly inclined people I know). Challenges
to speedy that are clearly not in good faith get rejected, and the
articles removed none the less (I do my share of that, also, and I
know what to do with schoolboy gaming the system when I see it.) .The
few times it gets to AfD it doesn't usually wait the 5 days.
Don't confuse honest disagreement about the contents of wikipedia on
particular topics --or even a somewhat different view of it in general
-- with the lack of a desire to keep it clean, and keep the contents
worthy.

And one of the outcomes should be: expedited cleanup. If not
performed, it can be stubbed or deleted after a week.

Yeah, nice. I agree with the expedited cleanup. Sometimes there is
dreadful crap that really needs to get off Wikipedia ASAP. Just
because someone contests a PROD doesn't mean pure crap should be
granted a 1 week reprieve, like that moron who decided to write a
piece of crap article about beach chic to honor his bride (God help
her), then contested the prod so the piece of crap would stay up for
the week of his wedding.
As much of an inclusionist as I am, compared to Guy certainly, there
really is a lot of crap that gets a one week free ride, that I
wouldn't mind seeing reduced to a 2 day free ride.
