Non-notability is not a reason for speedy deletion, only non-assertion
of notability. There is very little room for systemic bias with CSD
A7. An article about a notable person that does not assert that
notability can be speedy deleted (the admin can't know they are
notable, so it can't be avoided without removing A7 entirely), and an
article about a non-notable person that does assert (false) notability
cannot be speedy deleted (this is where PROD comes in).

The admin's decision is based solely on whether or not the article
asserts notability. That is purely a factor of the article, not the
subject, so systemic bias is not a significant problem.
