Using WP:MUSIC as a criterion for speedies would be a disaster. The kind of judgement required by WP:MUSIC and similar guidelines is rather subjective and requires some research to be done--which newpages patrollers are, perhaps understandably, reluctant to do.
Furthermore, WP:MUSIC is hopelessly US pop-biased. It was something someone made up as "no no these aren't requirements for an article to exist" and somehow it's morphed into being it.
