I've read the page more thoroughly and I fail to see how you could
have interpreted what I said as a plug for it. I said we should
entirely abandon notability for verification while that page states
that an article should be included if it is verifiable and notable.

I recognise the page seeks to change emphasis from notability to
verifiability and some of the reasoning is related to mine. Still, I
don't think the page goes far enough.

Why am I flogging this horse? I don't like being accused of doing (or
assumed to have done) things I did not do.
