What I failed to communicate is that I don't think deletion policies apply. The articles in question are already listed for moving; I think that moving them doesn't involve the deletion process, speedy or otherwise.
The problem is that as far as I'm aware there is no single consensual process for deciding to move to wiktionary. The items in that category are just those that someone or other has edited to add the mtw template. So we can't just delete the item there and then, unless the move to wiktionary was decided as a result of discussion on WP:RM, WP:VFD or WP:CSD.
