Does the Grinch hang out at AfD? Another theory I have is that some
articles are so obscure they don't even get noticed there. Or they
have references on them sufficient to sustain  borderline notability.

Sounds like Zeno's Paradox.

Don't get me wrong. I like interesting stubs as well:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_E._M._Hedges
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Street,_Jr.

But some articles are unlikely to be anything more than stubs.

Sometimes I've put such information in footnotes to an article, rather
than create a new article.
