Am I wrong to think that deleting valid articles and

on who the creator was is nonsensical and against what we're trying to

Who the creator was can make a difference - when clearing the work of
vandals, often admins just zap the lot - it means someone coming
through later after the same vandal won't spot them. Usually someone
(hopefully the deleting admin) should remake the link so it carries
the endorsement of a good editor.
Speedy deletion errors should be correctable by speedy deletion
cleanup patrol with no rancor on either side - first admin through to
clean up the firehose of crap, second to correct the inevitable human
error.
