Surely most articles do a bit of both. [[Bill's Fish and Chips]] could "educate" the reader about its menu and pricing. For some very small number of people, this information could be genuinely useful.
So it should be more a "detracting factor" or something. The more an article makes misrepresents the notability of its subject, the more it deserves to die. But then, AfD is supposed to be about subjects, not the contents of the article itself...

I would put it this way: an article should not exist solely to make its subject more notable. If an article makes the subject more well known, alongside educating the reader about the topic of which the subject forms a part, then that is no problem.
