That's because we haven't tried it yet. Take a snapshot, go through and remove everything which violates [[WP:NOR]] or [[WP:V]] (and include everything which meets both) and tell me what you have. Then we will see if the hypothesis is true or not.
It's your parenthesis that is the important part. I don't think there is much that violates NOR or V at the moment, so there's not much to remove. But including everything which meets both means including a lot of things (schools, roads, people, etc.) that people quite vocally deem _not notable_. NOR and V are relatively objective criteria, but notability is quite a lot less so, and there will never be a hard-and-fast rule (algorithm) that determines boolean notability.
Maybe we need a "notability review board" consisting of experts from different subject areas.
