OK, so let's assume that you want people to spend one minute
checking each article before deleting it.
That's roughly 100 man-hours of work per day, 12.5 full-time
equivalent posts. I don't think we have a dozen admins active on
clearing the speedy deletion category on any one day.
It's a great aim in principle, but I don't think it's going to work
until we can get the rate of creation down to rather more manageable
levels.
Well, you're assuming that the number of admins working on clearing the
speedy deletion cat would stay constant.
