Lack of notability is *not* a speedy criterion. Lack of *assertion* of notability is. You can assert notability in 60 minutes quite easily.
Lack of assertion of notability is *not* a speedy criterion. Lack of assertion of *importance* is. What is an assertion of notability anyway? "Multiple independent reliable sources discuss Joe"?
More "we would expect Multiple independent reliable sources to discuss Joe"
So "joe was the congress being for district X between 1800 and 1809" would probably be ok
"Joe was the defeated candidate in a local council election in 1907" less so.
