Lack of notability is *not* a speedy criterion.
Lack of *assertion* of

Lots of A7-tagged articles assert notability. A7 in practice `means "I
don't like it."
A7-tagged, certainly, but how about A7-deleted? Non-admins don't
(generally) know how to do admin work. If they did, they'd be admins.
There are no shortage of admins who run bot-assisted deletion tools
and uncritically accept any tag placed on an article as valid without
pausing to read, which effectively means that a bad tag won't get
challenged.
One, who I remember writing to this very mailing list about almost
exactly ten months ago, was running at three deletions a minute for
over an hour with something like a 4% rejection rate. There's got to
be false positives there, and no shortage of them...
