I remember recently suggesting that any nomination that includes the
words "non-notable" or "cruft" ought to be treated as a speedy keep
(with the intent of making people work a little harder on explaining
why a nomination ought to be deleted), but I can't find my email on
the topic either. I also remember someone disagreed about treating
"non-notable" in this way, so that is as far as *that* proposal
went.

Assuming that there is a consensus concerning use/abuse of the word
"cruft", then only one of your Speedy Keeps would be justified on that
basis:

Was this deprecation of the word "cruft" pointed out?
