I would support such a move if substantial leeway was given to newpages patrollers to speedily delete obvious ads, spam, forumcruft, etc. - pages that may not necessarily currently fall under speedy delete criteria but would clearly and unambiguously lose if placed on the now-closed AfD. I've gone back to doing newpages since the anon ban, and the rate of sheer crap coming in is still spectacularly high.
