Notability guidelines, IMO, should be guidelines for inclusion, not exclusion; in other words, if it passes this test, then of course we keep it, no need to re-debate it. They should be speedy-keep guidelines.
Well said... it might be good to add a {{propose}}d [[WP:Criteria for speedy retention]] that is to [[WP:Speedy keep]] as [[WP:CSD]] is to [[WP:Speedy deletions]].
Something like: " Articles to be "speedy kept" include: #[[Wikipedia:Featured articles]] #Articles which have had an [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion]] discussion closed as "keep" within the last three months #Articles which are considered "notable", under standards for notability
Note that absence of any or all of these criteria do not constitute grounds for deletion. "
Plus the stuff already in the "applicability" section of [[WP:SK]].
