Few things piss me off more than admins who delete on sight without even Googling the article title or looking in the history. We stand to lose nothing by waiting a few minutes to delete, and who knows - we may even discover the article is worth having, or a way to improve the article as it stands.
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.
