 There are a substantial number of other namespace junk pages as well, talk pages, unused help pages, etc.  These also need to be addressed.  Not as many, mind you, but they are still neglected.

If you want a quick url to get to the new pages, <http://tinyurl.com/nrf7v> is what we have listed on the Commons IRC channel.  

Also, non-admins *can* participate.  Simply put {{speedydelete|not in Project scope}} on a page and it will be taken up in the next run of speedies.
