We should do what we already do -- speedy delete those that fail to even assert notability, and PROD those that are non-notable despite assertion. If the PROD is removed, then AFD is necessary simply because it makes us look good. Assume good faith across the board.
I've long-advocated just turning CSD A7 into a prod. Prod's obviously working on the ones that are speedy candidates but get prodded instead...

By and large, yes. Were it not for the need to keep complete nonsense and vandalism out, one could almost do away with speedy deletions altogether. Of course if that happened, an equally complex set of guidelines for closing PRODs would quickly be formulated.
I do recall one time that an article was speedy tagged, the speedy tag was changed to a PROD, the prod was contested, and the resulting AfD was closed early with a consensus to speedy delete. I suppose it could have been worse; at least nobody started a DRV...
