That's honestly only part of the problem, though. The other problem is that the gudelines we have are crappy. Which is a helpful warning against instruction creep - your old instructions are likely to stick around and bite people in the ass long after their time has passed.

I agree with Phil's observation, but it's not just the [[profanity| ****]] deletionists that are to blame. There are honestly too many people so hungry for attention that they continuously seek to make Wikipedia aware of their unnotability. These characters are an undesired effect of being completely open, and cause pollution of good material with their own vanity. It is them we should blame to a large degree for our failure to distinguish between bona fide and shockingly unnotable.
When it comes to webcomics, it is extremely hard (for a non- insider) to make a judgment between notable and non-notable, which is exactly the point in having guidelines. I know this is elitist, but in these matters an uninformed opinion is a potentially destructive one.
