You have a point, but his notability or lack thereof shouldn't be decided with speedying. The no assertion of notability thing is for things like [[Sam Toupin]]. This article is basically about some 15 year old girl who likes DDR.
But... but.... I thought that "article does not assert notability" was a criteria for speedy deletion? Wasn't that what you were complaining about? At what level are you objecting to the policy -- the fact that someone speedied something under this criteria, or the criteria itself?
The Sam Toupin article would have been quietly throttled at birth six months ago--no CSD A7 necessary , just a commonsense attitude that, well, this is a guy writing about his girl.
Two articles routinely speedied on January 27 this year:

Ben Hooper is a great man who is always your best friend and pal, look for him around and say "Hello Ben"

A person who is extremely good at sport or physical activities. Now we have CSD A7 and suddenly we're discussing whether academics with major government positions and teaching posts in several countries are speedy candidates.
This is not an advance. We're moving backward and engaging in pointless arguments about articles we shouldn't even be thinking of deleting.
