Lack of notability is *not* a speedy criterion. Lack of *assertion* of notability is. You can assert notability in 60 minutes quite easily.
Lots of A7-tagged articles assert notability. A7 in practice `means "I don't like it."
A7-tagged, certainly, but how about A7-deleted? Non-admins don't (generally) know how to do admin work. If they did, they'd be admins. Speedy deletions are an admin task, so it is unreasonable to expect non-admins to be able to do it correctly. (Many can, certainly, but also, many can't.)
Wow! What a series of non-sequiturs. I'm not an admin after 5 1/2 years because I have never sought the power. Deletion is an admin task, but it doesn't exactly take a lot of training to push the right keys to delete something. If you add in the social and equitable aspects to deletions it becomes clear that a lot of admins don't know how to do it correctly either.
