There is a difference between a request for a deletion, and for a speedy deletion. Speedy Deletion is to be used on no-brainier pages, such as ones clearly created for the purpose of vandalism.

Whereas the regular delete request is for pages which you would argue serve no purpose. Pages which one may say has no purpose, but others would say are needed, or not harmful.

It really comes back down to the snowball clause. The regular delete is to decide on whether or not to delete something. Where as the speedy delete is for if there isn't a snowball's chance in hell of any rational people objecting to it's deletion.
