IMO, "non-notable" subjects are an area where Wikipedia can really excel. Every encyclopedia worth its salt is going to have a big, comprehensive article summarizing General Relativity or the American Civil War, but only Wikipedia has the resources to have comprehensive articles about every wee town or minor band or whatnot. As long as our policies are met - verifiability, NOR, NPOV - this is a good thing. With the ever-more-imminent introduction of version flagging it'll become even easier to maintain these small topics.
The notability of General Relativity is probably established by saying whether he was with the Union or Confederacy. :-)
