I never understood the purpose of having a queue. It takes just as much time to delete something from the queue as it does to delete an article. Move the articles with problems (that aren't speedy deletes) *into* the queue(s). Keep the ones that don't have problems right where they are.
The difference is that the article will never appear in public, hence reducing the payoff for vandals, spammers, self aggrandizers etc.
