CSD A7's wording is way, way too broad. The criterion is used by admins to delete anything arguably non-notable, and even notable things. Hence, a deletion of the criterion is necessary.
The current template:
| This page may meet Wikipedia’s criteria for speedy deletion because it is an article about a person, group of people, band, club, company or website that does not assert the importance or significance of the subject. (CSD A7). For valid criteria, see CSD.
If this page does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, or you intend to fix it, please remove this notice, but do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself. If you created this page and you disagree with its proposed speedy deletion, please add:
directly below this tag, and then explain why you believe this wikipedia page should not be deleted on its talk page. This will alert administrators to permit you the time to write your explanation. See help writing your first article. Administrators: check links, history (last), and logs before deletion.

This template is very, very subjective, and many deletions with this template are controversial. Since the page is deleted without debate, it is difficult for users to find out why unless they check the logs.
