Please, stop.  No, seriously, stop.  If you're speedying articles that 
don't meet the criteria, stop.

Discussion isn't bad.  Take a look at PRODSUM in any regard: items that 
could be speedied are not having their prods removed, and if it becomes 
an issue, we can try and change prod a bit.

I'd like to see a good faith effort by admins to not speedy articles 
with prod on them in the cases of notability, but I may be asking a lot. 
  That's one of the most frustating things I see when doing a PRODSUM 
checkup, redlinks because people couldn't bother to wait.
