If you have to do any interpreting, why are you speedying it in the first place?
Exactly; speedy deletion criteria are supposed to be cut and dried. If there is an assertion of notability, it can't be speedied.
Maybe. I've speedied many articles that contain phrases like "John Doe is the strongest/greatest/amazingest person in the world" -- clearly written by a self-glorifying student who's bored during a lecture. It passes CSD A7, but I mean, come on.
G1 and A1 could be said to apply, but it'd still be debatable.
But really, there is no way in hell it would pass an AfD. So I guess what I'm saying is that where CSD falls short of obvious BS, we can at least invoke WP:SNOW and save everyone the hassle of AfD.
I agree with your statement in general, but there are plenty of situations where I disagree.
