The rush of crap in many areas (fanfic, corporate vanity, garage  
bands, and other such major problems ) far outstrips the capacity for  
AfD. None of these things survive AfD, and ought never even go there.  
Speedying off of AfD is a way of saying "Please do not clog AfD with  
this, just kill it." We don't have time to have high-quality debate  
about everything. In fact, we don't even have time to have high- 
quality debate about everything we're trying to have high-quality  
debate about.
