OK, so let's assume that you want people to spend one minute checking each article before deleting it.
That's roughly 100 man-hours of work per day, 12.5 full-time equivalent posts. I don't think we have a dozen admins active on clearing the speedy deletion category on any one day.
It's a great aim in principle, but I don't think it's going to work until we can get the rate of creation down to rather more manageable levels.
Well, you're assuming that the number of admins working on clearing the speedy deletion cat would stay constant.
