I'll refrain from responding to the entirety of your otherwise good
ideas, but this, in particular, comes with some rather large opposition.
There is a strong group who would prefer a one-size-fits-all
"notability" guideline with lots of exceptions, instead of clear,
subject-specific ones. We need more subject-specific "notability"
guidelines if we're going to rely on "notability" for inclusion, but
it's not going to be easy.
