Is there anything wrong with setting a time limit of say, 60 minutes, on speedy deletions, so an article can be tagged, but the author has another 60 minutes to finish editing the article, and if it's still not notable after they've been working on it, it can go. Obviously, the dubious attack crap and gibberish would be exempt, but everything else would be covered.

This is a new thread to discuss CSD A7.
The Category for Speedy Deletion A7 is a menace. It is far too open to misuse. It should be replaced by something with far less discretion.
My question is: we need a banality threshold, but which one? We do need articles speedied if they are without redeeming interest. A7 is broken, and builds on the idea that notability (another broken idea) and its "assertion" can be properly judged by individuals.
What is there that can be put in its place? How can we better characterise "run-of-the-mill" ?
