Oh please no. Name anything that could harm wikipedia that doean't get delt with as a speedy or a copyvio.
I'm going to play Devil's Advocate and call [[WP:NOR]] - but that's not a speedy criteria, because an article is no longer original research as soon as references are added.
The proposal of "speedy or nothing" seems to be an attempt to move towards writing a bot that will detecting CSDs and act appropriately. It will never work. I don't know about the rest of you, but I think I'm quite capable of judging for myself what I do and don't want to be on Wikipedia. I don't need a bot or a set of rules saying "anything can stay unless it's X, Y, or Z" to decide for me.
That makes you an exception with whom I can sympathise. I find that both here and in many other circumstances, people have a great deal of difficulty coping with an environment that has flexible rules. A flexible rule environment requires requires that people take time to reflect and consider. This is inconsistent with the compulsion to deal with huge amounts of material quickly. For the compulsive a single word is enough of an explanation, and if he can manage with a cryptic abbreviation so much the better. Some of us just need time to reflect.
