Bands are a good example.  In theory, we could say "failing WP:MUSIC 
makes them speediable".  But there's always a chance that we might want 
to keep articles on some of the bands which fail WP:MUSIC ... and that's 
what AfD is for.

AfD isn't for *deleting*, it's for *keeping*.  AfD is the compromise 
between geni's "admins can delete anything they like" idea and Anthony 
(and others') disguised "nothing verifiable should be deleted, ever" idea.
