You're strictly correct. OTOH isn't this somewhat equivalent to arguing that it's perfectly OK to remove something from an article (or even lots of articles if they all mention it) on NPOV grounds, and then turn around and make an article especially for it?
There are plenty of things that should be removed from some articles on NPOV grounds but are OK in their own article. One big example is that of discredited or pseudoscientific theories. Mentioning them in our major science articles would be undue weight; however, this does not necessarily mean that they should not be mentioned in Wikipedia at all, especially if they gained a decent following.
