This isn't about "notability" (nothing ever is). The stated reason was
"no context". FSVO of "no context, see [1]:

Assuming, briefly, that they meant to say "no content" (A3), you'll
read on and see that said user is still be barking up the wrong
cactus. This means he has either not bothered to read the criteria, or
that he knows it's an improper tag but hopes that those reviewing the
tag actually are equally ignorant (or simply don't care).

The "good faith" interpretation is that nobody actually bothers to
read the CSD policy (yet every day somebody wants to add more to it --
perfect...)
