I think for fairness sake, before the mods give a decision, those siding with Thor should have their say.
In short, that Thor have consistent showings beyond what streets achieve.
And I don't mean the odd 'Thor has no trouble tagging Spidey', because that's NOT beyond what a street can achieve - Wolverine does the same, after all.
Nor do I mean statements like 'Thor moves at blinding speeds' or whatever, because again, streets can ALSO perform the same (as we have seen).
So it has to be something that if we replaced Thor with another street, it would be unheard of.

I seriously doubt that the mods will make anything resembling an actual ruling in regards to assigning any specific level of super speed regarding Thor. If they did they'd then be asked to make any number of similar rulings about other characters too. Historically they'll only rule that a character either has or doesn't have super speed and leave the "level" of super speed possessed by the character open to debate/discussion.
Perhaps. Perhaps not. We have rulings on Flash 'possessing that level of speed', so it is not unheard of.

Even Flash they don't assign a specific level to though, they just say that he'll use his speed. I mean it's a new day so you may very well be right, I was just pointing out that it's most likely a long shot. The simple knowledge that such a ruling would mean that there'd be similar threads for other characters will likely drive them away from such an idea. Just think about it, I think 10% of relevant appearances was the number you yourself personally cited as a fair way to judge Thor's speed... can you imagine such a thing to someone like Supes? The guy probably has 8,000 canon appearances, just imagine vetoing any of his speed feats of his that can come close to being matched by the top streets and then trying to set up an "average" based upon 10% of what's left. He'd need like 800 solid, non flight aided quantifiable feats beyond the BEST of guys like Spidey, Logan, Cap, and Bats just to prove that his super speed went beyond "street level". The whole thing would end up devolving into a mess almost immediately.
The difference being, with Thor his best showings are analogous to what a street can do.
Superman? Not so much.

So its one thing to say he has a minor level of superspeed. Bug to say he can react to a Superman level speedster? Nonsense

Yeah that speed feat is hilariously beyond light speed. I Can't even deny how impressive that was

Did you see me compare Thor's level of speed to Supes's... no, you didn't. I simply pointed to Thor hemming in a speeding Quicksilver as something beyond "street level" super speed because DS said that the speed feats of the top street level guys are analogous with Thor's best.
We've derailed this long enough, we can take this to PMs if needed.
