No offence, but this sounds a bit like your thinking is a little black and white. Either speedy-delete everything or nothing. Of course, if it is difficult to determine whether something is nonsense or not, then obviously it should not be a speedy deletion candidate, because community input is necessary.
The "Demish" article, however, is easy for me (as a languages enthusiast) to dismiss as nonsense. Hence, I (being a sysop) should be allowed to speedy-delete it.
Maybe it should be made possible to list something on VfD to bring it to the community's attention, but then allow sysops who are knowledgeable in the relevant field to delete both the article and the listing.
