While it may be annoying when a favorite type of article is listed for deletion, it's best viewed as a chance to argue your case to not delete it.
Remember that the case for deletion needs a consensus, which is actually pretty hard to raise if an article has any merit.
In particular, the notability argument is extremely weak, and in most cases directly contradicts deletion policy.
Deletion policy states explicitly that if the only problem with an article is that it's on a branch of a subject so trivial that it doesn't merit an article, it is *not* a candidate for deletion, but should be merged to a more comprehensive article.
This isn't only policy, it's also a pretty sensible argument for merging.
Agree on all points.
