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.
