That's certainly what the policy says. It's not what some admins accept, though.
A direct quote from one, from as recently as March this year:
- The general spirit of the notability policy is that Wikipedia
finds [the subject] notable
This was also the general vibe that I had gotten that informed my understanding of notability on Wikidata before someone pointed out that policy actually says differently.
Thank you, Derric Atzrott
