We may need speedy, but what would happen if we had a month-long moratorium of AfD? with everything sent to afd being held for improvement? Not introduction of a new procedural step, as some have suggested, just a shock effort to improve articles.

So I propose a week of restricted article creation (or at least in the main namespace). For a burnination of unencyclopedic material.
So I propose you first inform a couple of hundred hardened speedy nominators, prodders and AfD regulars that this is not yet official. Create articles, youse bums!

Taking out the garbage is an important, if often thankless, task anywhere. Try not doing so in a large office for a week. Granted, it isn't the -only- important task that happens there, but there will sure be problems as soon as it quits happening. I'm very grateful to those who perform filtering, and while I do see some inappropriate nominations, on the whole they do it damned well.

Well, I, for one, will in that case find -very- inventive ways to determine that things fit a speedy criterion. :) Realistically, though, we need -more- cutting, not less. We've got plenty of writing done already, but far too much resistance to cutting, a normal and healthy part of any editing process.
