I'm trying to figure out if you're arguing with me. You're right, of course, the rules are completely messed up.
But I think it's fair to say that "notability rules are only a sufficient condition and it's possible for something to not satisfy the rules and still be notable" is a *very* unpopular position, to the point where it may as well not be true.
