Wouldn't it be easier to mark it for speedy-deletion and see what 
happens instead of outright deleting upon request?  If indeed the case 
is as obvious as you say, then it should be taken care of by the 
speedy-deletion category cleanup crew in relatively short order, which 
will in some sense ratify the decision to delete it by at least one 
other person.  That's normally what I do in all but the most obvious cases.
